Yahoo email can be reached by qualifying the request with your username and
password. I believe that this is sent in clear text, and therefore easily
read if your packet is sniffed. /Command is not required. At the command
prompt, try:
print read pop://my-name:[my-password--pop--mail--yahoo--com]
Of course, there will need to be some email there to check. 8-)
Accessing Hotmail thru http, if I recall correctly, requires a combination
of cookie management and javascript, thereby effectively eliminating the use
of REBOL. I've not investigated the optional pop access.
