Comment 1 for bug 245323

Same error message here, but after rebuilding the intrepid version on hardy, it still fails. I also tried the freepops.org ubuntu package, and get the same error message. I had to install the thunderbird webmail and webmail-yahoo extensions to get yahoo working again. What happened? Could it be related to yahoo changing their accounts again??

It would be nice to get a freepops backported to hardy (since it's a 3 year release).
