There might be another option. I know that many, if not all, of the att yahoo's have a pop3 option for email. The incoming and outgoing servers vary by locale, but (after logging in) they can be found on the att yahoo website: <http://helpme.att.net/>http://helpme.att.net/results.php?all=0&category=2 <http://helpme.att.net/results.php?all=0&category=2> . I had to set up a coworker, using Mozilla Thunderbird and sbserver. The only "gotchas" for her locale was that att used nonstandard ports and ssl, which had to be accounted for in the configuration.

Hmmm...  You *might* be able to use the SpamBayes IMAP filter to classify
messages, though as far as I know this hasn't been tried before.  I have a
freebie Yahoo! Mail account but it doesn't support IMAP.  I was able to get
the IMAP filter to work with Google, sort of, but I was unsatisfied with the
results.  It was too complicated, it wasn't at all clear to me that I had
things set up properly (and I'm a SpamBayes developer), and it seemed as if
Google's spam filtering and SpamBayes were often at cross purposes.

My mother-in-law has a similar setup to you, but since she only mails her
friends she doesn't get much (if any) spam.  Still, perhaps I can prevail on
her to let me try and break her mail setup (she's done it frequently enough
without my help, and she always calls me for tech support ;-).

It's not going to happen anytime soon though.  PyCon is coming
<http://us.pycon.org/>.  That will likely suck up most otherwise free time
for the next week or so.
