Bug#452485: O: fetchyahoo -- Retrieve mail from Yahoo!'s webmail service
Package: wnpp
Severity: normal
Package owner, Chris Lawrence <lawrencc@debian.org>, appears to have abandoned package fetchyahoo. It needs a new maintainer.
Fetchyahoo has been unusable for over 90 days and mail is no longer being picked up for those who use this package. There have been two new upstream releases since critical bug was first reported. See bug # 440140.
The package description is:
FetchYahoo is a Perl script that downloads mail from a Yahoo! webmail
account to a local mail spool, an mbox file, or to procmail. It is
meant to replace fetchmail for people using Yahoo! mail since Yahoo!'s
POP and email forwarding services are no longer free. It includes all
parts and attachments within the email. It can also forward the email
to a specified address.
