This works for me:

Func check()
    $ie = _IECreate ("http://mail.yahoo.com")
    $hwnd = _IEPropertyGet($ie, "hwnd")
    $oForm = _IEFormGetObjByName ($ie, "login_form")
    $oId = _IEFormElementGetObjByName ($oForm, "login")
    $oPass = _IEFormElementGetObjByName ($oForm, "passwd")
    $idt = GUICtrlRead($id)
    $passt = GUICtrlRead($pass)
    _IEAction($oId, "focus")
    Sleep(250)
    ControlSend($hwnd, "", "Internet Explorer_Server1", $idt)
    _IEAction($oPass, "focus")
    Sleep(250)
    ControlSend($hwnd, "", "Internet Explorer_Server1", $passt)
    ControlSend($hwnd, "", "Internet Explorer_Server1", "{ENTER}")
    _IELoadWait($ie)
    
    ;Nahuel's part:==
    $html=_IEBodyReadHTML($IE)
    $Test= StringRegExp($html,'(?i)mail16_1.gif(.*?)<b>(.*?)</b>:<br>',1) 
    MsgBox(0,"","You have: " & $Test[1])
    ;=================
EndFunc

ok .. thx !

Just look at the source code and use StringRegExp() If you have trouble then post that piece of code (the one that shows in bold the unread messages) and I'll help you.
