Dear all,

I got too many spam email every day...

Is there such a utility/program, or can I do some programming in the
simplest way, to do the following:

1) automatically logon to my mail.yahoo.com account with my account username
and password;

2) click on the "empty bulk email folder" link to empty the folder;
3) then log out the account;

I only know a little programming on Windows, such as VC++, etc. Let me know
if I can write several lines to do the above task, or there is some
automated software to do the task(don't tell me to use macro recorder, those
utility relies on windows position and mouse position, which are stupid and
not very reliable... I have previously recorded some daily actions, but they
always made a mess)

Thanks,

-Walala

You might ask in Perl or Tcl newsgroups. This kind of task can be coded in
a variety of languages, and I think I've seen people advertise solutions
to these stupid worms in comp.lang.tcl.

(Many of these kind of http tasks can be easily automated from Perl and Tcl.)

There is a program called "expect" to do this very kind of thing.
