Slightly off topic, but....

A while back there was a thread about accessing Yahoo mail via POP w/
firewall support (by ShengHuo Zhu) instead of using webmail.

Anybody got this up and working?  I connect to the proxy server but
the result is (from the POP session trace buffer):

    HTTP/1.0 407 Proxy authorization required
    Proxy-agent: Netscape-Proxy/3.53
    Date: Sun, 03 Dec 2000 09:10:03 GMT
    Proxy-authenticate: basic realm="SPS WWW Gateway"
    Content-type: text/html
    Content-length: 271
    
    <HTML><HEAD><TITLE>Proxy authorization required</TITLE></HEAD>
    <BODY><H1>Proxy authorization required</H1>
    Username authentication is required for using this proxy.
    Either your browser does not perform proxy authorization, or your
    authorization has failed.
    </BODY></HTML>
    Process POP exited abnormally with code 256


My settings are:
    (setq firewall-gateway-host "proxy.foo.com")
    (setq firewall-gateway-port 80)
    (setq firewall-user-name "username")
    (setq firewall-password "secret")
    (ad-activate 'open-network-stream)
    (setq firewall-gateway-function-list 
      '(firewall-gateway-send-connect
        firewall-gateway-wait-http))
 
I tried to connect without the username and/or password hoping that I
would be prompted (like w3 accesses) but no such luck.

Any ideas?
