This is horrible about Yahoo cancelling their POP3 service! I think I know what this means... When the Yahoo Mail beta goes live, they will be taking down the POP3 service. For those who pay for this, it stinks. For those of us who use FreePops/YPops/MacFreePops etc, I imagine we too will lose POP3 access until the open source community figures out how to extract mail from the new interface. This might very well push me from Yahoo to Gmail once and for all.
