Hi guys, newbie question. I am having trouble with a script that is
supposed to login me to my account on yahoo pop server. When i do this:
import getpass, poplib, re
POPHOST = "pop.mail.yahoo .com"
POPUSER = "mylogin"
POPPASS = "mypass"
pop = poplib.POP3(POP HOST)
pop.user(POPUSE R)
up to this point evertything proceeds fine, but when i do
if not POPPASS:
POPPASS = getpass.getpass ("Password for %s@%s:" % (POPUSER, POPHOST))
pop.pass_(POPPA SS)
I am being asked for password and after giving it getting
the following error:
POP3 Protocol Error: -ERR Error logging in. Please visit http://mail.yahoo.com
Would appreciate any help or comments -- its my first day with Python :).
What am i doing wrong? 4  4676 
Andre,
Do you have a premium Yahoo account? Only premium users can access
Yahoo mail via POP3. If you are a premium account holder and it still
is not working, print out your password to see if you typed the correct
password.
Have you tried accessing your Yahoo from an email client? Does that
work?
Thanks,

Thank, Kartic
I actually tried doing it with several other accounts, notably mail.com and
netscape.com
When i do it with netscape the dialog goes like the following: POPHOST = 'pop3.isp.netsc ape.com'
pop = poplib.POP3(POP HOST)
POPUSER = "myusername "
pop.user(POPUSE R)
'+OK' pop.pass_("mypa ssword")
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<pyshell#5 >", line 1, in ?
pop.pass_("1234 56")
File "D:\Python24\li b\poplib.py", line 202, in pass_
return self._shortcmd( 'PASS %s' % pswd)
File "D:\Python24\li b\poplib.py", line 165, in _shortcmd
return self._getresp()
File "D:\Python24\li b\poplib.py", line 141, in _getresp
raise error_proto(res p)
error_proto: -ERR invalid username or password
The username and password are naturally valid, but something else is wrong.
Do you know if Netscape also doesn't allow POP access? Is there a free
e-mail provider who does?
Thanks a mil,
Andre

Okay..this OT now!
Gmail provides pop access. Or you can use fastmail.fm, they hae a free
account option with POP3 as well as IMAP access.
Before you post any Python code, first try with some email client and
then try with Python code.

Wait a tic. The 'if not POPPASS' should only work if POPPASS is set to '',
not if it's set to 'mypass'. Are you really being prompted for your
password in this case? If you really are being prompted, then either you
don't have a valid POP3 account at Yahoo (you have to pay or be using
SBC Yahoo DSL to have it), or you haven't enabled it (you have to do this
in your Yahoo mail options).
Make double sure you can access POP3 mail via another client like Outlook
or Thunderbird as well, to ensure that POP3 works at all. If you can't get
it to work in those clients, you won't get it to work in Python, either.
