I discovered (thank you, Tagryn and Mozzied!) that I no longer need the Webmail add-on for Yahoo Mail, GMail or Hotmail.  TB can now d/l the mail from them without an add-on. 

To set up TB read http://kb.mozillazine.org/Yahoo, http://kb.mozillazine.org/Gmail and http://kb.mozillazine.org/Hotmail.

I tried to get it to work without webmail addon but for some reason it wouldn't work. And I don't think there is any way to do it with Rocketmail from what I've seen.

No joy here this morning either:-( The add on has been working great for a long time now (1.5.8b1) but now it looks like Yahoo has managed to break it again!

Tries the settings here:

http://kb.mozillazine.org/Yahoo

for a POP account and it does in fact work.

Do you have to create a new account in order for it to work
or can you modify the existing settings of your accounts in
Thuderbird?

I got it to work with my yahoo.com accounts. I don't think the
yahoo site I was looking at had the correct instructions but as
I as said Yahoo is apparently not supporting the rocketmail
domain so I guess I am screwed unless this addon is updated.
The addon quit working with my rocketmail account.

I figured out what I was doing wrong. I forgot to add the domain
rocketmail.com to my user name for my rocketmail account which
is obviously the only way it can be distinquished from regular
yahoo account.

Did anyone who changed their settings to the recommended Mozilla settings for POP mail notice they are getting more SPAM from Yahoo now as it appears their filter isnt catching it and dumping it into the servers SPAM folder? Curious....

ALR

[Lcbj75]

Yes!  All of the spam that Yahoo caught before is now coming in!

[alrui]

Well that sux! I wonder if the developer of the webmail extension will issue an update as I for one would much rather go back & use that and forgo the SPAM:-)

ALR

[alrui]

It looks like Yahoo mail catches the SPAM then when you use Thunderbird to grab it it grabs the inbox AND the SPAM contents at the same time! There must be a way to set things up so the SPAM is left on the Yahoo servers.

OK Heres the fix:

Change the setting to dont download SPAM & it should be golden (I just changed it so time will tell).

Aha!!!  It was hidden!  Thank you so much for finding this!  I've reset my accounts and I'm crossing my fingers that the spam is gone.
