So for those of us using CDO now with a gmail account (mine is
mbss.b...@gmail.com), what's our next option to have our VFP apps still
report seamlessly without needing any intervention?

Fred,
I thought it was you couldn't POP or sync with IMAP to the account unless it
was a paid account.
Gmail is locking down a lot. You will need an OAuth2 token to use Gmail with
SMTP before the end of the year.

Or you need to turn on 2FA, and get a device password to use.
Things are getting difficult.
Office365 will not have the ability to use an OAuth2 token for SMTP access.
They will require the use of an API if they start to block SMTP access like
Google is.
Life of a developer...

I don't think Yahoo allows you to send emails via CDO unless you have a
paid account. At least that was they told me several years ago. CDO works
with Gmail and Office 365 accounts.

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.
Thanks
John
