Actually that's backwards. KMail no longer supports yahoo. What yahoo did was enable password smtp authentication. This feature is not available in KMail. This caused me to change from Kmail to Evolution as my email client...not a bad move, I had been considering it anyway. Evolution supports smtp password authentication, plus a few others, you see. After the wild horses dragged me over to Evolution, I found it to actually be a better client. As long as they don't require gnome-core in order to install it, I'll be happy. > I know they used to support KMail as a few months ago I set up > Kmail to use their servers and it worked just fine.

That chopped out a few users who were unwilling to change their email clients. Next they gave a warning to everyone that they were about to start charging for POP email access, two or so months ahead of time. As long as you did it before April or may something, it was 19.00 a year. That's about $1.58 a month. For users signing on after that date, I don't know what the price was. But the bottom line is that POP access is available for an affordable price. Well...I considered it affordable, taking into consideration that I've had this address for over 6 years and I did'nt want to lose it. If it goes up again tho, I'm moving. And damn the address.
