  If your yahoo.com address is the only other address you need to send
from, then I suggest you have a look at (free) YahooPOPs! (apparently
now called YPOPS!). I use YahooPOPs! on (MS-)Windows. Your User-Agent:
line indicates you are running SunOS. According to the YahooPOPs!
website, it "is available on the Windows, Linux, Solaris and Mac
platforms.". I don't know if the Solaris version can be used on SunOS or
if SunOS offers a Linux-compatible environment, so you have to look at
that part. In any case the Solaris version is distributed in source
form, so may be you can just build that one on SunOS. (Just out of
interest, why are you running SunOS? Isn't SunOS effectively dead?
(asked the (ex-)HP-UX support person! :-)))
