Changing where you go when you click "Open Mail" o

Currently, if I click on the "Open Mail" thing for when I get new Yahoo! Mail, it sends me to https://login.yahoo.com/config/login?.src=ym which always requires me to enter a password, even if I was just there looking at email.
I hate having to enter my Y! password each time. Normally, when I check mail I just use my bookmark which uses http://mail.yahoo.com/ for the addy, which only requires my password every 24 hours.
How can I change that addy I'm sent to when I click the button? (I know, coding somewhere, I tried to find it, with no luck...although I was able to change the message I see when I get new email...heh)

Found it.

From your source code directory:

adium/Plugins/Gaim Service/Libgaim.framework/Headers/yahoo.h

As of Adium revision 17054, it's line 34:

Code: Select all

#define YAHOO_MAIL_URL "https://login.yahoo.com/config/login?.src=ym"

Try changing that to your URL of choice.

Ok, I can't find it.

(can't find what file you're talking about)

The file you are looking for is part of the Adium source code. It is only recommended to use the source code if you know what you are doing. See this for more information http://trac.adiumx.com/wiki/GettingAdiumSource

Yeah, I assumed you already had the Adium source code, since you mentioned having made a change to something else, but sorry if I misunderstood. In any case, when you check out the Adium source, the folder is by default called "adium" though you can call it whatever you want. Within that "adium" folder, go into the Plugins folder, then into Gaim Service, and so forth, until you find yahoo.h.

ok. Since we now established I don't have it...
Can I fix this on my own? Or should I report a ticket to have it changed?

If you think mail.yahoo.com is a better URL to use than the current one, open a ticket about it. But if the developers disagree and it stays at the login.yahoo.com URL, then I'd check out the source code and build yourself a modified copy (if it's important enough to you) with the instructions in the page that m2e linked to.

I also would like to change the mail thing to opening aol communicator instead of going to the aol site. Is that even possible? I know very little coding, so a lot of help would be appreciated. Thanks, Duffey.
