Currently neither X1 Desktop Search (XDS) nor Yahoo Desktop Search (YDS) can index Yahoo's web-based email.

With Google's recently introduced GDS v2.0 indexing Gmail for you, I would imagine Yahoo is working on same feature for its Yahoo emails also (my own personal speculation).


Also, it seems that YDS will also have Yahoo-specific indexing capabilities, that X1 may not have (and may never have).

It has been suggested that X1 offer YDS users an add-on that gives X1 the YDS features, for the sake of those who are willing to upgrade from YDS to XDS (which is payware).

Here's a creative alternative (i have not tested this personally):

Use Thunderbird to get the Yahoo Web-based emails... with the following Extension:


YahooPOPs!

NOTE: If you find that YahooPops 0.6 does not delete downloaded msgs from the server and you are downloading the same msgs again, the solution is here:
