from the developer:

YPOPs! is a free open source software that provides POP3 and SMTP access to Yahoo! Mail. You can use your favourite email client, be it Outlook, Thunderbird, or whatever else you like and connect to Yahoo! Mail seamlessly.

Wolf's review:
YPOPs is a handly tool makes any Yahoo Free Email Account accessable to your computer based email client! i like to have copies of my mail on my computer for backup and reference purposes. sometimes i need to see what that $39.95 was spent on last month. or recover the serial number of a piece of software i bought a year ago. or see - did i really say THAT to them?
YPOPs allows me to pull my web mail into my email client for free. YPOPs runs with Windows 95-XP, has no other requirements and has a small footprint [4MB of system resources] when running all the time.
i configure YPOPs to NOT start with Windows, to NOT download the "Bulk Mail Folder", to NOT mark messages unread, and TO download items from the "Sent Folder". [i simply run YPOPs, run my email client, and close YPOPs when i'm done - i'm very frugal with my system's resources]!
documentation for the various email client setups can be found here.

mac users - try MacFreePOPs [NO idea how well this works, but it looks good and had good reviews!]

Next time, i will introduce you to my email client - one you've [probably] NEVER heard of before!
