There are a lot of programs out there that can access yahoo's mailbox and notify you for new mail. How do these programs work? Yahoo doesn't provide POP or IMAP access.
I'd imagine these programs are taking advantage of the Yahoo! Mail Web Service
There are examples given in a number of different programming languages on the Yahoo! Mail Web Service website that Jamie's talking about:
C#
Perl
PHP
Python
Java JAX-WS
Java Axis2
These code examples show how it's possible to access Yahoo mail using code, without requiring the redirect you mention.

I'm looking for a way to allow Yahoo application to read user's emails over IMAP. It works well for old applications (that were created before Yahoo Mail API has deprecated), but trying to access IMAP for new applications gives me an error
[AUTHENTICATIONFAILED] (#AUTH007) Bad scope.
Unfortunately, I have no idea how to add a correct scope for accessing IMAP for new applications. During creation of the app, I was not given a choice to add scope with name even looking like 'mail'.
Is Yahoo API just broken or there is some tricky way to work around?

I have a window service that reads the reply of mail and classify them based on the hidden fields into the replied email body. But while replying from outlook messenger or any other web servers other than the browsers, the hidden fields are not received into the email body of replied mail. I want the solution that why the hidden fields are not sent back to my email body while replying from outlook messenger or any other web email servers other than browser. Need help. Thanks in advance.
It is not clear what code you use at the moment in a service, but Microsoft does not currently recommend, and does not support, Automation of Microsoft Office applications from any unattended, non-interactive client application or component (including ASP, ASP.NET, DCOM, and NT Services), because Office may exhibit unstable behavior and/or deadlock when Office is run in this environment.
If you are building a solution that runs in a server-side context, you should try to use components that have been made safe for unattended execution. Or, you should try to find alternatives that allow at least part of the code to run client-side. If you use an Office application from a server-side solution, the application will lack many of the necessary capabilities to run successfully. Additionally, you will be taking risks with the stability of your overall solution. Read more about that in the Considerations for server-side Automation of Office article.
You may consider using a low-level API on which Outlook is based - Extended MAPI or any other third-party wrappers around that API (for example, Redemption). In case if you deal only with Exchange servers consider using the EWS Managed API, EWS, and web services in Exchange.
I would like to know if there is a way how I can send e-mails with preferabel php or JS without needing an actual mail server. I am pretty sure it won't work, but have any of you an idea how there could be a way?
You can send mail with a lot of services, I believe they are called 'exchange' mail services. Gmail, outlook (or live, hotmail) are examples of these services. Google is full of examples :-)
Is it possible to send Yahoo email (or any other free service like Google mail) using YQL?
If yes, please tell a little bit about the procedure.
Thank you.
You could use YQL to talk to the Yahoo! Mail Web Service. The mail web service uses OAuth for authentication and can communicate via JSON-RPC (or SOAP) which is no problem in YQL.
How do I use Google Apps' email services to send mail using the CodeIgniter email class? The email class seems to prefer SMTP, and I was going through the clients Google Apps account. I can't find any place within the Google Apps settings for SMTP. Does anyone know of a solution for this issue?
Right you don't find it because CodeIgniter uses the "mail" PHP function.
For some reasons only the most drunken PHP core developer knows about - this function do not support SMTP and worse even the admin can't configure SMTP usuage on Unix (it is possible to do this on windows - making the PHP design look even more crazy).
There are a few SMTP libraries out there that can handle SMTP Email, just use them
http://pear.php.net/package/Mail
http://sourceforge.net/projects/phpmailer/
http://swiftmailer.org/
or the Email classes from the Zend Framework which are uncoupled from the rest so easy to use with CodeIgniter.
Here is a blog post detailing instructions:

Extract From link:
Why send email with Gmail rather than
the server's SMTP configuration? There
are a number of advantages I see for
doing this: Ability to develop locally
and test email sending functionality
without going to lengths to setup a
local mail server. Ability to utilise
Google Apps emails to send email from
emails which are on your own domain.
Ability to have a reference of the
mail you send using this method in the
"sent" folder on your Gmail account.
