I use FreePOPs to get my Yahoo and Hotmail mail. See http://www.freepops.org/en/
One fine day, FreePOP's stopped working - I tried Mr. Postman and other HTTP POP access to Webmail but nothing worked.. and then...
Figured it out.. (wonder why is it that when I'm doing my taxes that I can figure out completely unrelated problems!!)
In Safari on the Mac - apparently I had accidentally accepted the Yahoo Beta invite - maybe Yahoo let me know that my browser was not supported - However, it allowed me to login but did not show me the new interface - so how would I know?.
Thats when the FreePOP problem started - the actual error - which I found in the log from Mr. Postman was "GET http://uk.f525.mail.yahoo.com/dc/system browser blocked"
So that gave me the clue.
I started up Firefox on the Mac and I found that I was in the Yahoo Beta - which I quickly switched back to Classic. Voila - all FreePOP's problems solved!!!!
See this forum post...

So that's how...
