Sorry for the noise but... did anyone try to connect to Yahoo via IMAP? 
It seems to be responding:

sm01@stt008:~$ telnet imap.mail.yahoo.com 143
Trying 212.82.96.94...
Connected to imap.mail.eu.am0.yahoodns.net.
Escape character is '^]'.
* OK [CAPABILITY IMAP4rev1 ID NAMESPACE X-ID-ACLID UIDPLUS LITERAL+ 
XAPPLEPUSHSERVICE LOGINDISABLED AUTH=XYMCOOKIE AUTH=XYMECOOKIE 
AUTH=XYMCOOKIEB64 AUTH=XYMPKI STARTTLS] IMAP4rev1 
imapgate-0.7.65_12.286037 imap404.mail.ukl.yahoo.com

Or is it also restricted to paid accounts? 

Wikipedia seems to say it is open for everyone:

Maybe fetchmail is capable to work this way...
