One of the most annoying part regarding the Yahoo Mail featuresets is that the free features offered by Yahoo differ on a country to country basis. While advanced features like POP & Forwarding are not available for free to users having email on the yahoo.com domain, they are available to most of the users on other country specific yahoo domains like yahoo.co.uk, yahoo.co.uk, yahoo.com.au or yahoo.co.in !!

So if somebody on yahoo.co.uk changes his settings to English-US, then his POP & forwarding gets disabled even though he is a yahoo.co.uk user. For a yahoo.com user, no matter what settings you select, there is no chance of POP & Forwarding getting enabled.
