How can I read Yahoo! Mail using JavaMail?

Using JavaMail, I am able to read and download mails from Gmail, but it is not working for yahoomail.com. I've tried it in all the possible ways I know, but nothing is working. While searching, I learned that Yahoo Mail does not provide POP3 for free users, so I tried IMAP, but it is also not working.

Solution

    for No7. Use menu link Forwarding instead of POP Access
