Just found this on a Yahoo Help Page:


"The ability to access Yahoo! Mail via a POP3 email client is only
available to customers of Mail Plus. If you have not purchased the
Mail Plus service, you will be unable to retrieve messages via an
email client (such as Outlook or Outlook Express). You can determine
whether or not you've purchased this service by visiting Yahoo's
password-protected secure billing site."

I'm off to delete my account :)
