Yahoo developments

Um, er, can someone please explain just what this new Yahoo! development means?  I mean, I have a dial in connection.  However, I also have my own ISP, which I pay for, and use as my primary account for receiving and reading HPFGU messages (and hence do not need to use webview).  I also have two Yahoo accounts, with lots of messages stored in them, but which I now rarely use except when I'm out of town and can't access my home account.  During these times, I use one of my Yahoo accounts to access my home computer (something about external POP servers) and get it to download messages waiting on the server into my Yahoo account, to be read online (and yes, this is expensive for someone with dial-in access).

Am I going to be affected by this, or is this new development a facility I don't use?

Tabouli.
