Hi,

Can anybody suggest a tool to automatically verify links sent to yahoo or gmail accounts.

Basically I would like an automated solution to this - I do not want to have to open each mail, and clink on the verification link

Any suggestions for a tool for this, or a php script?

Thanks
 


I've done this with regular tlds on LAMP setups, you just use fopen and ../../backwards_navigate to the approproate mail folder then visit the <a href> link using curl. If you're stuck using gmail, you can always set up a filter to forward to a different email address .... I can't see someone having a gmail plugin (if there is such a thing) that does this. Possibly an imacro

It's really pretty easy and if I remember correctly, it was < 100 lines of code. Let me know if you want to give it a try and I'll see if I can find my hack.
 
I just output all the e-mails to RSS using ToRSS and use a simple cURL (with DOM and XPath) script to visit the links.
 
nice bullet.. thanks for that. I've been messing around with using php's IMAP functions, trying to do the same thing as msm.. I'm still going to figure out the imap functions but this will work in the meantime.
