Going directly to the frontier.com mailbox (handled by yahoo) works,  
using POP3S, so at some level POP3 does work.  I have not upgraded  
popfile in over a month.  What I can't quite tell is whether balsa is  
failing to talk to popfile correctly, or if something has changed which  
is causing popfile to not communicate correctly with the remote mail  
server (either yahoo or gmail).  I suppose I could get more info if the  
pop debugging were still working.
