This has been out of action for a while. He does not appear to be maintaining his work. The repository also has a file with an error which stops apt-gt update from finishing.

W: Failed to fetch http://tskariah.000webhost.com/ubuntu/dists/ubuntu/main/binary-i386/Packages.bz2 Sub-process bzip2 returned an error code (2)

Happens on both of his repo’s.
I guess we will have to wait for a different solution to yahoo + thunderbird stuff.

Yahoo does offer free POP access if you change a setting. It worked for me and it is described here:

No need for YPOPS anymore

The server hosting the files is down since a week. Check out Thomas Skariah's blog at .

Hi,
Thanks I could configure the same in TB and Evolution. I am able to fetch mails, but unable to send mails using the smtp, every time i send, am asked for the authentication again and again, i enter the one for my account but am rejected everytime.

Any ideas?

One small correction to the YPOPs instructions:

This line
$ sudo apt-key add tskariah.gpg

Should be
sudo apt-key add t_skariah.asc.gpg

For new users that get a file not found error.
