Q. If this add-on is used to check a few Yahoo webmail accounts,
would it be logging in to each account according to my chosen
time cycle parameters, but log out and leave me disconnected
from the Yahoo network in between checks?

That's how I'd want it to behave...

I mistrust Yahoo. The accounts are leftovers from the pre-Gmail era.
In recent years - for various reasons unwilling to deactivate them
altogether - I have checked for incoming Yahoo (only) mail within
Firefox, via the add-on called "WebMail Notifier."

But this morning I discovered something appalling when I manually
navigated to the Yahoo Calendar login page: I was already logged in on
one of my userIDs,

This despite a number of browser measures to avoid or clear LSOs,
Flash cookies, SuperCookies, or any kind of persistent cookie I have
ever heard of. (I'm not a tech expert.)

I do not want Yahoo hooked to me except when either (a) an automated
process is checking for new mail; or (b) I am actually looking inside
one of my accounts with my own eyeballs.
