I use fetchyahoo to read yahoo mail in icedove (thunderbird) on etch.

$ apt-cache show fetchyahoo icedove

However, for Etch, you will need to manually update fetchyahoo to the
current version 2.11.2 from http://fetchyahoo.sourceforge.net for useful
results.  Just untar the tarball, then as root, move the executable
fetchyahoo to /usr/bin and you're done.

On icedove or thunderbird, File -> New -> Account -> Unix Mailspool
(Movemail).

This has worked great for me for years.  Have fun!
