You could use the Zend Framework Zend_Mail functionality, this would allow you to connect to GMail/Yahoo/etc with POP3 or IMAP.

The "simplest" way would be to use IMAP to access the mails (i.e. don't try any kind of HTML scraping !). I have no idea for Yahoo, but I know you can enable IMAP in gmail.

There are several libraries in PHP that allow one to use the IMAP protocol to access a mailbox ; for instance :

  • There are functions provided in PHP (You might have to install the extension, though) : IMAP, POP3 and NNTP
  • Or you could use something like Zend_Mail.
