Cornerstone 0 Posted December 13, 2010 Report Share Posted December 13, 2010 I'm trying to build email confirmation script for yahoo.What it is supposed to do is add all the confirmation emails to a list and then navigate to themIt scrapes the number of unread emails to determine the number of loops To test it I included a couple of stat monitors and created a facebook account and a twitter account and saved the urls to a txt file on my desktop As of now it scrapes the twitter url 2 times navigates to twitter confirms the email but not for facebook at all I've spent quite a while looking at list tutorials, scraping tutorials and know I'm probably missing something pretty simple. If some one would take a look at it I would appreciate it.Here is the login for the yahoo email I created. It is also the twitter/facebook credentials cotscarfarm@yahoo.coma1s2d3f4 See attatched bottestbot.ubot Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Praney Behl 314 Posted December 13, 2010 Report Share Posted December 13, 2010 There is a good tutorial about the same somewhere on the forum I sure if you do a little search you find it. If I am correct it was from Aaron Nimocks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Aaron Nimocks 19 Posted December 13, 2010 Report Share Posted December 13, 2010 Its probably outdated but the technique would still work. http://www.ubottutorials.com/yahoo-email-automated-activation-link-clicking.html Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cornerstone 0 Posted December 13, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2010 ThanksI've gone through all of those and based my bot on what I learned. He had 2 yahoo tutorials 1 was a complete bot but several who tried it including mysel never got it to work. It required a "footprint" file but if you look at the code there isn't a reference to it. The other yahoo email tutorial I looked at used yahoo mobile and it doesn't have a spam box. Some of the account confirmation go to spam consistantly. In any case I'll keep looking for a solution and hopefully someone or myself will solve the issue Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cornerstone 0 Posted December 13, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2010 Aaron, Thanks for the tutorials and contributions you've given along the way. They have been quite helpful. I actually built a yahoo mobile bot that worked as planed but some of the mails kept going to the spam folder which I coulldn't access. That's why I wanted to move to the next step Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cornerstone 0 Posted December 14, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2010 I think I figured it outI mistakenly nested the if then statements that contained the "footprints" of the confirmation emails so that it wouldn't ever see the second if then statement Quote Link to post Share on other sites
