I'm using PhoneGap and JavaScript to produce an iPhone app. Is it possible to send a cross-domain AJAX (POST) request and download the response as HTML? (ex.: sign into yahoo mail and fetch new mails)

Setting up a CORS policyBy default you are not allowed to make AJAX requests to another domain. Your browser applies the Same-origin policy as part of the web security model.
For a successful cross-domain communication, we need to use dataType “jsonp” in jquery ajax call. JSONP or “JSON with padding” is a complement to the base JSON data format which provides a method to request data from a server in a different domain, something prohibited by typical web browsers.
You can allow Cross Domain Ajax calls to an application by just registering a new filter and then configure it to Allow-Origin : {your domain's} or you can use a wild card “*” to allow the calls from all domains.
Cordova/PhoneGap allow for whitelisting of domains. As long as the server you are requesting is in the whitelist.
