Ok...for my 2nd contribution I give you an easy setup and install of the excellent program ypops which allows you to check your Yahoo!Mail with any POP3 (Mozilla compatible) email program. Without paying for the premium Yahoo Account...
Youll need the simple installer script that I made:
Copy the following and paste it into a file named ypops.install and save
then chmod +x ypops.install
Code:!/bin/bash ## ### #### This basic install script was created to copy everything to the correct place and set afew sym links. #### so that all logging output ends up and in correct places and the HTML debugging output from ypops stays #### contained. ########### Edit here if you want ######### # Make sure ypops is in its OWN FOLDER!!! INSTALL_DIR=/usr/bin/ypops/ ETC_DIR=/etc/ypops/ SYSLOG_DIR=/var/log/ypops/ BIN_DIR=/ysr/bin/ ####### END Settings ######## echo Installing YahooPOPs! .... echo .... Creating directories ... mkdir $INSTALL_DIR mkdir $ETC_DIR mkdir $SYSLOG_DIR echo .... Copying files .... cp ypops $INSTALL_DIR cp ypops.ini $ETC_DIR cp ypops.ini $ETC_DIR\ypopsrc cp yahoopops.sh $BIN_DIR echo "" >$SYSLOG_DIR\ypops.log echo .... Creating links .... ln -s $ETC_DIR\ypops.ini $INSTALL_DIR\ypops.ini ln -s $ETC_DIR\ypopsrc $INSTALL_DIR\ypopsrc ln -s $SYSLOG_DIR\ypops.ini $INSTALL_DIR\ypops.log # This is for security... wouldnt want your email accesible through debugging output now would you? echo ... Setting permissions ... chmod 0600 $INSTALL_DIR echo "" echo Done! run yahoopops.sh to start/stop YahooPOPs. echo ""
Youll also need the loader script. Same as above - paste into a file named yahoopops.sh
Code:#!/bin/bash ## ### #### ######## Settings ############### YPOPS_HOME=/usr/bin/ypops/ YPOPSINI=/etc/ypops/ypops.ini ####### END Settings ############ LAST_DIR=$PWD SMPT=` grep -A 0 SmtpPort= $YPOPSINI ` POP3=` grep -A 0 Pop3Port= $YPOPSINI ` PARM=$1 if [ "$PARM" ]; then if test $PARM = start then cd $YPOPS_HOME ; echo Starting YahooPOPs! ..... ; ./ypops & echo Â*Â* Â*Â* Â*Â* Â*Â*$SMPT ; echo Â*Â* Â*Â* Â*Â* Â*Â*$POP3 ; echo "" ; cd $LAST_DIR ; echo YahooPOPs was started! ; echo "" ; else if test $PARM = stop then echo Stopping YahooPOPs! .... ; YPOPSPID=` ps -C ypops -o pid= ` ; kill $YPOPSPID ; fi fi else echo "Usage: ./yahoopops.sh start -or- ./yahoopops.sh stop" fi
You can save yourself the trouble of creating to script yourself if youd like by downloading from my thread on the ypops forum:
