FetchYahoo is a Perl script that downloads mail from a Yahoo!  account to a local mail spool. It is meant
       to replace fetchmail for people using Yahoo! mail since Yahoo!'s POP service no longer free. It downloads
       messages  to  a  local  mail  spool, including all parts and attachments. It then deletes messages unless
       requested not to. It can also optionally forward messages to a specified e-mail address and repeat with a
       given interval.
