Trying Kmail -- yahoo imap settings

[James Freer]

"Course, I wonder if Yahoo would be upset at me if I discovered the 
settings that they use for IMAP on the iPhone, and applied those to 
Thunderbird..."

Not sure what those settings are but i've just tried these in 
Thunderbird and they work (like ten mins ago). Why yahoo don't become 
public about imap i'm not sure.

I'm username at yahoo.co.uk [maybe they won't work for other . extensions 
but do work i gather for .com]

imap.mail.yahoo.com:993
smtp.mail.yahoo.com:465

You'll have to enter them manually (i stick to SSL so i haven't tried 
the alternative 587 TLS).

Problem solved!!! [don't know now what i tried before which didn't 
work].
