NAME

fetchyahoo − retrieve mail from Yahoo!’s webmail service

SYNOPSIS

fetchyahoo [options]

DESCRIPTION

FetchYahoo is a Perl script that downloads mail from a Yahoo! account to a local mail spool. It is meant to replace fetchmail for people using Yahoo! mail since Yahoo!’s POP service no longer free. It downloads messages to a local mail spool, including all parts and attachments. It then deletes messages unless requested not to. It can also optionally forward messages to a specified e-mail address and repeat with a given interval.
