Yahoo does have IMAP on the free service.  Here are the parameters to 
set it up:

http://help.yahoo.com/kb/index?locale=en_US&page=content&y=PROD_MAIL...

If you don't get prompted for a password when you connect, make sure 
that no other programs (or any computers on your NAT'd LAN, I suspect) 
are signed in to the Yahoo account you're trying to access.

Yahoo and thunderbird.

Hey, thanks for that! Indeed Thunderbird sets it up automatically.
We only have to choose the folders to subscribe in 'Manage folder subscriptions'. So I can see all messages.

Now, it will only set up the main address for outgoing messages so in my case I would probably need to add an account for each disposable address I have if I want to be able to reply.
Unless Thunderbird has some type of alias settings (defining a list of addresses to use with the same settings for all). If it hasn't maybe I'll open a feature request for that in Mozilla's bugzilla.

Yahoo and thunderbird.

Actually it can be done from 'Account Settings...' > 'Manage Identities'.

Writing from Thunderbird right now.
