Is there a way to auto-login to a web-based account? I have an mail forwarding account that is free for life. The internet company used this service to boost its subscriber numbers when it IPO'd. When the bubble burst, suddenly these free accounts became a burden and they changed the terms of service to make me login every 60 days (the period keeps getting shorter). The thing is, this is an account that simply forwards mail; there's no reason for me to login. I am looking for a web (or other) service that will login and logout every X days, just to refresh my activity for me. I gave it out the address to colleagues when I left a job and nothing very private ever passes through that address, so I'm not worried about security. | |

Try saving this page and use it as homepage.
It will login once per session or if you open a new browser
<html>
<head>
<script>
function testLogin() {
if (document.cookie.indexOf('maildone') != -1) return;
document.loginForm.submit();
document.cookie='maildone=true';
}
</script>
</head>
<body onLoad="testLogin()">
<form method="post" action="http://www.mail.com/scripts/common/proxy.main"
name="loginForm">
<INPUT type="hidden" name="action" value="login">
<input type="hidden" name="show_frame" value="Enter">
<input type="hidden" name="mail_language" value="us">
<input type="hidden" name="login" value="your mail.com email
address><br>
<input type="hidden" name="password" value="yourpassword"><br>
</form>
</body> |

Unfortunately I couldn't get it to work, but thanks very much anyway, mplungjan-ga. I know you spent time on it. If you want, I'll give you a week to repost it as an answer to claim payment and four stars. The problem, though is now moot. Mail.com has recently removed their free forwarding feature and made it a premium service, forcing me to log in frequently to check the mail because they won't offer POP. I prefer to use fastmail.fm which is better in just about every way possible, so I guess I'll just abandon my mail.com address and register the email redirection instructions on veripost.com. |
