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.

wrong about Yahoo

If that single link is the only statement regarding no POP3 access on Yahoo, then this statement is just wrong. That link goes to one of the Yahoo Mail help pages -- for Yahoo Canada. If their help pages are to be believed, they don't have Mail Plus! there, which is the pay service that permits POP3 access for Yahoo US. My POP3 access still works, and there's no indication on any of the US help pages that it's going away. Yahoo! (unlike Gmail) has not offered free POP3 access for their US site for years.

(Also, there is a separate, contradictory) help page on Yahoo Canada that says POP3 access IS available if you sign up for Yahoo! Delivers, an ads-in-email service that I think I had years ago and which they replaced with Mail Plus.)
