hi all,

Is there a way to login into yahoo programmatically

i.e just providing “email” and “password” without making use of the  
yahoo login page.

Thoughts?

Ya I was using a software named DIGSBY and used to first save the  
username  
and password into its DB and then whenever we login into the DIGSBY it  
automatically logins into all your accounts may be gmail,yahoo etc.

I don’t know the mechanism but i know that it is possible.
