Can you use POP to access Yahoo groups?
If so, this script will get you started:
#!/usr/bin/python
"""
Redirect the output to a file to capture the contents of the mailbox.
"""
host = 'foo.com'
account = 'jennyjenny'
password = '8675309'
import getpass, poplib
M = poplib.POP3(host)
#M.user(getpass.getuser())
#M.pass_(getpass.getpass())
M.user(account)
M.pass_(password)
numMessages = len(M.list()[1])
for i in range(numMessages):
for j in M.retr(i+1)[1]:
print j
