So, I downloaded and managed to install, despite some initial difficulties, the YoSucker perl script (and all necessary dependencies). It's a utility to download all yahoo mail from the web interface to an mbox file. Very handy. But I'm having a problem. Thought maybe one of the more tech savvy people on my friends list might be able to help me figure out how to fix it.
Everything seems to be going fine with the script, it downloads a bunch of html that is clearly from my email account, then it reaches the part where it's supposed to output. Consistently, it says it cannot open the output file. I've changed the path to the file multiple times, even tried creating a blank file with a plaintext editor and specifying that file as the output file. Nothing seems to make a difference, it's always the exact same result.
Any clues?
