--- Comment #3 from Chris <inkbottle...@gmail.com> ---
Just adding a bit of context:

Yahoo-mail used to be accessible to Kmail and other third party apps though an
app password. It has been described several times lately that this method might
not work any more.
https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/outlook_com/forum/all/when-i-try-to-generate-an-app-password-in-yahoo-i/99f61c31-8c33-4995-bab6-245e95f96230
("this service is temporarily unavailable")

However yahoo-mail can also be accessed with OAuth method, and Microsoft has
tagged the above issue as "fixed" by making the shift to OAuth:
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/how-to-add-a-yahoo-imap-account-to-outlook-desktop-without-an-app-password-d13fb02d-eb93-4775-bae9-0e54bf2f5bca
("status: fixed")

So I guess Kmail linking to Gmail OAuth page when trying to setup a yahoo-mail
account is totally the smart move.

Maybe if it were linking to Yahoo OAuth page it would work even better.
