I've just tried to configure a yahoo account and it does it as IMAP on the version I use (3.28.3). I don't know why it chose to use POP for you - I didn't think that POP was the default for anything! > > I don't know what the newest version does.

Again, this is on the latest stable version, but when you enter the account identity on the configuration pages there is a tick box at the bottom that controls if it tries to look up what to do for that particular email address. (It's a standard DNS lookup feature that most mail providers implement.) I think on previous versions it was a button that allowed you to skip the lookups. If you don't let it automatically choose the account type you get a config page with a drop-down to choose what to use. > > If a service offers both imap and pop protocols, it seems to me that > imap is definitely to be preferred. IMAP is the default AFAICS.
