How does one keep up w/ the ever changing HTML for things like Yahoo!
mail? Basically, I was doing my regular "let's go through the manual
and see what other features I'm missing" and noticed the webmail so I
decided to try it out (which has probably been there for a year or so
:). I have:
(setq mail-sources '((directory :path "/home/cdh/.incoming/"
:suffix ".spool")
(webmail :subtype 'yahoo
:user "chrisdhal")))
This appears to work, however I have been having problems due to
changes in the HTML.
I can live without it, but it would be Really Cool(TM) if this
worked. How does one keep up w/ this? I know this has been an issue w/
the Deja searching and such. I'm using 5.8.5.
Thanks!

I don't know about webmail in general, but can you just use the regular ole
POP feature for your Yahoo! mail? I have been using it with no problem for
a few months now:
(setq mail-sources '((pop :server "pop.mail.yahoo.com"
:user "JackVinson"
)
))

This is the reason that I planned not to support Yahoo! mail in
webmail. Is there any reason that I should continue to support it?

Wow. This is great! Thanks for the pointer, I'll just use that from
now on.

I would guess not. I would, however, suggest putting that in the docs
or something. I would consider myself an experienced Gnus user (back
to at least September Gnus) and I still stumble across new features. I
don't use Hotmail or any of the other webmail ones, but I do use
Yahoo! therefore I immediately associated Yahoo! w/ webmail
(especially because it's listed there :). Maybe just put some wording
in the Yahoo! section that says you can just use pop.
Thanks again for the help.
