This is going to sound like an idiotic question, but hear me out.
I want to be able to get to my Yahoo! mail without going through Yahoo!'s login screen. So I viewed the source for the login page, stripped the names of all the <input>s, hidden and no, and concatenated them all into a querystring that I tacked onto the form's action, like so:
.intl='us'&.bypass=''&.partner=''&.u='abcrbaot80soh'&
.v='0'&hasMsgr=0&.chkP='Y'&.done='http:\\mail.yahoo.com'&
login='**USERNAME**'&passwd='**USERPASSWORD**'&
.persistent='Y'&'Sign In'
Except that I put in MY name and password. I have successfully done this already for Hotmail and CompuServe mail on the web. This gives me an invalid password error although my password is correct. Any REAL experts out there know how to make this work without using POP3?
Is this the wrong place to ask this?
