Yep, I use Thunderbird with my gmail accounts. The
problem with yahoo is
that it doesn't have IMAP so:
- you have to download the messages.
- they (AFAIK) become unavailable in the web
interface.
So for my yahoo mail I use the web interface.
The good thing about yahoo is its disposable
addresses.
It has a 'new' mail interface (available since some
time already) and
maybe it's friendlier but I'm sticking with the
classic.

If Yahoo supports POP, make sure you have the "Leave
messages on server"
option set in the "Server Options" part of your account
setup on Thunderbird. It'll download the messages but leave
them on the
Yahoo server. I think they even still show up as "Unread"
(at least
they do on RoadRunner's servers).


Thanks, I'll check that.


Yahoo does have IMAP on the free service. Here are the parameters to set it up:

If you don't get prompted for a password when you connect, make sure that no other programs (or any computers on your NAT'd LAN, I suspect) are signed in to the Yahoo account you're trying to access.
