Our customers had been required to set a "less secure apps" type of setting for Yahoo. Now they are required to use a specific "device password".
I don't have the ports handy, but I think most providers have switched to TLS 1.2. If the user is on a Windows 7 machine, they may need to have the latest patches and to enable the TLS correctly for it to work. https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/3140245/update-to-enable-tls-1-1-an d-tls-1-2-as-default-secure-protocols-in-wi#easy That's a long url, here is a bitly version: https://bit.ly/2UBddmS If they are on an older OS, I don't have any option for my customers but suggest they upgrade the computer. HTH, Tracy -----Original Message----- From: ProFox [mailto:profox-boun...@leafe.com] On Behalf Of John Weller Sent: Friday, February 07, 2020 10:51 AM To: profox@leafe.com Subject: [NF] Yahoo Email Settings A friend is using a program I wrote to send emails requesting a piece of information using SMTP with CDO. The program is only used twice a year. Last time it was used it was set up for his Sky account which worked fine however this time it has stopped working so he set up a Yahoo account which is not working either. Can anyone confirm the correct settings for Yahoo and SMTP please? We have tried outgoing mail server = smtp.mail.yahoo.com, port = 465 and 587, use ssl = .T., authenticate = .T. and username = 'name'@yahoo.com.
