Yahoo Mail Beta and MacFreePops login problem

Wednesday, October 11th, 2006

Here’s what I did to get my Yahoo Mail importing into Mail.app with the latest Yahoo.lua 0.1.9d for FreePOPS (or MacFreePOPS).

I opened yahoo.lua and changed line 252 from:

strRegExpWebSrvUrl = “webserviceURL: ‘([^']+)’”,

to:

strRegExpWebSrvUrl = “webservice: ‘([^']+)’”,

Then I downloaded Firefox 1.5.0.7, switched on the Yahoo Mail Beta, and then turned it back off.

Next, I quit my mail client and quit FreePops (in my case, MacFreePOPS).

Finally, I launched MacFreePops and then fired up my mail client, Mail.app again. Everything started downloading like the old days!!!
