From Wikipedia:
Yahoo operates IMAP servers (imap.mail.yahoo.com in particular), which are globally accessible. However they require a specific, but non-standard IMAP command to be sent before login is done. The command is: “ID (“GUID” “1”)” and it is relatively easy to modify any email client to send it. In fact this is the method currently employed by YPOPSs! and FreePOPs. There are modified version of Mutt (e-mail_client) and Thunderbird available that send this command mutt and thunderbird with yahoo imap support.
There is also an IMAPs server running at imap.next.mail.yahoo.com. It is using SSL on the standard port 993. The certificate is for *.imap.mail.yahoo.com and doesn’t match the address of the server (imap.next.mail.yahoo.com) so the user has to manually confirm when connecting. IMAPs should work with the above software.
In addition it is also possible to send mail through mail clients as yahoo also operates an SMTPs server (smtp.mail.yahoo.com). It is necessary to enable SSL through port 465. The username is the user’s yahoo mail address and the password is the same as for webmail access, this applies to both IMAP and SMTPs access.
It remains to be seen whether yahoo will disable these “features” if more people start using them.
