That would seem like a quite dodgy way to run an email filter, especially considering how http logins work; they can time out or expire and such. And even if you do manage to login with a commandline tool, there might be javascript scripts or something required for it to work which a commandline tool would be unable to perform.
If you really want to try it that way I suggest you take a look at wget, see its --post-data, --no-check-certificate, --save-cookie, and --save-session-cookies options. A better way would be to find out why this requires a login and fix it...
