Other Help Topics :: Yahoo mail in Sylpheed

I can't get my mail from Yahoo in sylpheed... (pop.mail.yahoo.com)

What can i do/change?

You could use the FetchYahoo script to download messages to your system, and I'm guessing you could access them with Sylpheed from there. I haven't tried this myself, but I use FetchYahoo and Mutt without trouble.

also, unless you pay for your yahoo, you don't have access to pop.mail.yahoo.com.

haven't tried FetchYahoo, but Yahoo!pops works with Mozilla Thunderbird or opera's mail client, (or outlooks but we dont care about that).

Mmm - I'm having trouble getting fetchyahoo going. I'd appreciate any suggestions. The story thusfar:

1. I've downloaded and unpacked fetchyahoo_2.8.6 into home/dsl
2. I used apt-get to install the various libs etc as suggested at fetchyahoo.sourceforge.net/INSTALL which worked fine for all EXCEPT libcrypt-ssleay-perl. For that, apt-get said this was listed but not available or had been removed or went to heaven or something.
3. Thinking it might run without this I switched off ssl in fetchyahoorc and tried to launch from 'Run Program'. Nothing.
4. Double-clicking on the executable in emelfm (a Windows habit) gives tne error message:
"can't locate HTTP/Request/Common.pm in @INC"
5. Thinking it must need the ssl I went to cpan and got Net_SSLEAY-1.25.tar.gz which was the suggested alternative source for these libs and followed the instructions at http://cpan.uwinnipeg.ca/htdocs/Net_SSLeay.pm/README.html
This went well until ./Makefile.PL - t
which aborted and said "Can't locate ExtUtils/MakeMaker.pm in @INC".

Both error messages above also listed the other stuff that was found in @INC, so the directory exists.

Any suggestions?
