I was apparently wrong about Yahoo! Mail supporting IMAP.  (Ken Stox alerted
me to that fact.)  I went back and looked again but couldn't find a "we
support IMAP" statement on their website.  OTOH, I did find a reference in
an old discussion group message with an IMAP server address that seems to
still be active at some level:

    % telnet imap.next.mail.yahoo.com 143
    Trying 69.147.85.201...
    Connected to imap1.beta.mail.sp1.yahoo.com.
    Escape character is '^]'.
    * OK IMAP4rev1 server ready (3.5.24)

Could you maybe see if that works?  Unfortunately, imaps isn't supported, so
don't do this with a username and password you care about.
