     Yahoo and AT&T are one and the same, and apparently have been for 
quite a while.  Both the old and the new DNS entries redirect to 
addresses on yahoo.com.   The question is, "How do I get fetchmail to 
ignore or work around the issue?"  Regardless of how obtuse the ISP's 
IMAP server may be, I should be able to download messages without any 
issue.  Downloading one message every N seconds is not an answer.

     I am also getting errors like:

fetchmail: Received BYE response from IMAP server:  IMAP4REV1 SERVER 
LOGGING OUTfetchmail: mailbox selection failed
fetchmail: client/server synchronization error while fetching from 
[email protected]@imap.mail.att.net
fetchmail: Query status=7 (ERROR)
