Hi,

I've been trying to make wget download my Yahoo Mail and Group message
archive so far without any success.

I've used wget before on regular, no login sites without any problem. I
understand this time I need to make wget log in somehow.

I tried logging in with a regular browser and passed the cookies file as
an argument to wget but it still got to the login page.

I was wondering whether anyone know how I can get my Yahoo stuff
automatically.

If wget is not right tool what it the right tool?

Thank you very much!
