Access to Yahoo!Mail

I start a new topic here smile.gif

Actually, I need to retrieve messages from the mail box, and I don't know how to do it if I can't access user data.
I saw that there is an API "Yahoo Mail Web Service" but I don't know if I can use it for Connected TV development (because I haven't found what I was looking for in JavaScript sad.gif )
thank you for your help!


What I'm looking for is a way to access the mail box. "KONtx.dialogs.YahooLogin" allows to be connected, but I don't know what functions or API I can use to access the mails ...

If someone has an idea about this, it would be very helpful smile.gif smile.gif

  • Currently there isn't support for access Yahoo! Mail data directly from within a widget. You would need to write a backend service which authenticates the user using BBAuth using the normal published APIs on developer.yahoo.com and then have a way to authenticate users from your widget with your own backend service.
