I can't get my mail from Yahoo in sylpheed... (pop.mail.yahoo.com)What can i do/change? Posted by mikshaw on Oct. 08 2004,14:35
You could use the < FetchYahoo > script to download messages to your system, and I'm guessing you could access them with Sylpheed from there. I haven't tried this myself, but I use FetchYahoo and Mutt without trouble.

also, unless you pay for your yahoo, you don't have access to pop.mail.yahoo.com.haven't tried FetchYahoo, but < Yahoo!pops > works with Mozilla Thunderbird or opera's mail client, (or outlooks but we dont care about that). -J.P. SaidinUnleashed Posted by WoofyDugfock on Oct. 11 2004,11:33
Mmm - I'm having trouble getting fetchyahoo going. I'd appreciate any suggestions. The story thusfar:1. I've downloaded and unpacked fetchyahoo_2.8.6 into home/dsl 2. I used apt-get to install the various libs etc as suggested at fetchyahoo.sourceforge.net/INSTALL which worked fine for all EXCEPT libcrypt-ssleay-perl. For that, apt-get said this was listed but not available or had been removed or went to heaven or something. 3. Thinking it might run without this I switched off ssl in fetchyahoorc and tried to launch from 'Run Program'. Nothing. 4. Double-clicking on the executable in emelfm (a Windows habit) gives tne error message: "can't locate HTTP/Request/Common.pm in @INC" 5. Thinking it must need the ssl I went to cpan and got Net_SSLEAY-1.25.tar.gz which was the suggested alternative source for these libs and followed the instructions at < http://cpan.uwinnipeg.ca/htdocs/Net_SSLeay.pm/README.html > This went well until ./Makefile.PL - t which aborted and said "Can't locate ExtUtils/MakeMaker.pm in @INC". Both error messages above also listed the other stuff that was found in @INC, so the directory exists. Any suggestions? |
