Thanks for the tip and sorry for jumping in, but if I create my
account
myn...@isimap-ssl.mail.yahoo.com, it asks for authentication,
but does not authenticate when you supplyi the usual password...any
hints? (Of course, I may be jumping on the wrong place: I want to
access my Yahoo mail account through Thunderbird via IMAP).
thanks,
jamg
