	Yahoo stateside is in the process of eliminating POP access and=20=

SMTP for anyone not willing to pay $20 US a year.  They have a list of=20=

supported e-mail clients: Netscape, Outlook, and Eudora.  I used to use=20=

Yahoo's POP and SMTP.  I found that I had to download my mail and send=20=

mail within close proximity of each other, otherwise it would want=20
authentication for the SMTP server.  That changed around January when=20
you needed to use a client that could do SMTP authentication.  My e-mail=20=

client, mail, on Mac OS X can do SMTP authentication just fine, but=20
sadly, is not supported by Yahoo.  Maybe UK yahoo is kinder to other=20
e-mail clients.  I know they won't be seeing $20 US from me.
