<div style='font: ; text-align: left; '>Does anyone know of any bots or spiders that can download your web email and store them in local text files? My yahoo account is bursting at he seams and Yahoo won't allow me direct access to their POP servers unless I fork over $20. So then I thought about writing a web spider that would download all my email and attacments for me, so that I can free up more space on Yahoo. But then I wondered if it has already been written. Has it? If not, is anyone interested in writing one? =) I'd do it myself, but I'm working two jobs and I literally have no spare time. I'll give you a buck...

As long as they block outside access to their POP and/or SMTP servers, I think you're hosed. Geeze, TWO jobs? First no work and now you got more than you can handle. When it rains it pours...</div>
