Hi and welcome to TSDN. Hope you have a great time here. I'll move this to the .NET forum so the experts there can help (if it's possible).

I'm not sure what language ypops is written in, but it's open source and does some pretty nifty stuff.

Hi April77,

What are you trying to do?
Are you trying to send an email using a Yahoo account?
Are you trying to retrieve the user's emails in their in box?

Are you developing a desktop application or web application?


It sounds like you'll be interested in researching the HttpWebRequest Class. It provides you with a way to make a request to a website in your VB.NET or C# code. You will have to know what to do with the response though.

Cheers!

Why don't you use a open source POP3 client and get all mails from your yahoo account? you could do that using outlook too...
