Thank you! I made one slight tweak to the script after I installed it which was to add an "&Nview=u" to the query string params. It goes straight to my unread messages!

not working. still get a login page to verify password. any new developments? and what if you know the server of another email user, will this make other users vulnerable to seeing their mail?

Oh boy, oh boy!

Here is something much simplier, without any script...

Look at the first number in the URL when you are in Yahoo! Mail (logged in). Let's call it server number. For example it's "502" for me:
http://us.f502.mail.yahoo.com/ym/ShowLetter?MsgId=...

Then use this URL below to log in but, CHANGE THE NUMBER according to YOUR server number:

http://login.yahoo.com/config/login?.done=http:...

(You could use ANY URL after ".done=" !)

If You get "Your login session has expired", then the number is not correct! Look at the "Mail" link at the current page (above "Your login session has expired.", next to the Addresses, Calendar, ...) and use that server number. For example it's "358": http://us.rd.yahoo.com/mail_us/pimnav/mail/*htt...

Any feedback is welcome!

Bye,
parhuzamos

I guess that Yahoo! changed some of the urls relevant to this script. It's fairly easy to make it work by updating those urls.

1)When the script is installed it sets the url for which it is applied. Edit this by replacing "welcome* with "login*".

2)Edit the script itself by replacing "welcome*" with "login?.*" on the last line of the file.

Unfortunately, I'm still getting my "Welcome" page as well. Love the idea...will check back for fixes.
