This is possible - but not what I would call easy!
If you can figure out what your web browser is doing
when it sends a webmail, then yes, libcurl can most
likely emulate the same behavior.
But my experience is that these sort of ad-supported webmail
services change the way their system operates on regular basis,
so what works today might very likely be broken tomorrow.
That said, you might google around a bit for some other
solution, i think there are some perl scripts floating around
for at least yahoo and hotmail.
(i think some of them even use curl :-)
