><title>How YoSucker works</title>
><body>
>
><p>
>YoSucker is a PERL script that accesses the <path>http://mail.yahoo.com</path> 
>website and then performs the user actions of clicking buttons and filling in 
>the User/Pass. This bypasses any file format changes that Yahoo may do. Other 
>Yahoo mail apps access the Yahoo Mail Inbox directly, this method can and 
>has been blocked by Yahoo in the past. YoSucker can retrieve mail to your local inbox
> in a variety of formats that will be covered below. YoSucker supports multiple 
>accounts, procmail, localised Yahoo Mail sites, proxy connections and more.

>YoSucker depends on the following packages:

>  <li>perl-core/Digest-MD5</li>
>  <li>dev-perl/IO-Socket-SSL</li>
>  <li>perl-core/MIME-Base64</li>
