Ypops is a proxy. It provides a POP3 front end to the client (Windows Live
Mail), and a web browser to the server (back end). Yahoo! is constantly
dinking around with their web site, and Ypops will sometimes fail to work;
until the author catches up with the changes. I've never found web-to-POP3
proxies to be terribly reliable.
