Subject: Re: retrieving Yahoo mail with Net::IMAP

Now there's a thing. I never heard of WWW::Mechanize, but there's many a 
time I could have done with it. Thanks a lot for that tip, there's a 
bunch of things I need to revisit now.
Btw, I'm very disappointed with Google for not having an export mail 
facility, I'm usually a fan of Google and everything was looking sharp 
and smart with Gmail, but I think they dropped the ball with that one. 
It seems such an obvious feature to provide.

Cheers,
Tad
