Personally I use yahoo as a throw-away account for dodgy sites.

Using gmail you have the problem that google scans all messages and you 
may well get different search results. For instance my son emailed me 
his flight itinerary. Google picked up on that and gave me his details 
when I searched the flight number


Also, using gmail, it's noticeably slower than my own postfix and 
dovecot servers when I connect using my phone remotely. gmail 
authorisation seems to take a very long time.

I've got a Yahoo mail account (among others) that I use for a
particular purpose. However it's been a while since I've been able to
send e-mail from it using Yahoo's smtp servers. Instead I've been
sending e-mail via another smtp server so the "From" address doesn't
match the login domain. Gmail apparently now considers that to be
sufficient reason to bounce the e-mail so I've been trying to get
Thunderbird to use the Yahoo server to send mail for this account.

So far I haven't been able to come up with any combination of
settings, including removing the account and recreating it in
Thunderbird, that allow the mail to go through.

The messages I get either complain about the password or tell me "An
error occurred while sending mail. The mail server responded: Request
failed; Mailbox unavailable. Please check the message and try again."

Does anyone have Thunderbird and Yahoo working together?




I have it running on thunderbird. Both imap and smtp use ssl/tls and
oauth2

smtp uses port 465 while imap uses port 993

I have some memory getting oauth2 to work may have been a bit of effort.


I had a similar problem with a Rogers account that stopped working. It's
one of the reasons I stopped using Rogers... They turned their e-mail
over to Yahoo and Yahoo doesn't really support e-mail.
