Yahoo *does* allow you to use your own e-mail client for POP & SMTP. All you have to do is check a box that allows them to send you 1 advertising e-mail per week. I have several Yahoo e-mail accounts that I use exclusively through Outlook 2000. Every once in a while their servers have hiccups but it's mainly fairly reliable.
My domain/web site offers free POP3 e-mail accounts, too. I'm not going to hawk my site here so anyone who wants one can e-mail me privately for more information. One word of warning: You SPAM with it and you get dropped like a turd in an operating room.

Most webmail systems don't use 'real' email accounts. Before trying a perl script to collect the mail, have you used an email client such as pegasus or outlook to see if it can connect to yahoo through POP? If that doesn't work, then there's no point in going further. I hope someone knows of a free mail service offering POP, cause I don't know of any.
