Re: Thunderbird to access Yahoo eMail w/o Premium Svc

You are correct in that it turns off the spam filters alanrf I used the 
the site to get my yahoo mail into Thunderbird 3 it does work with out 
an add-on to Thunderbird. I have 3 yahoo accounts 2 hotmail 4 gmail and 
2 mail.com accounts as well and ant time i can setup an account with out 
an add-on is really nice. I used the addons when i was still using TB2 
and found that they only get half of the mail so that is why i use TB3 
with out addons and I get all of my mail on every account....
