Thanks for these suggestions Phil. I have tried all the variations of user
name and username + domain, and also variations with local host instead of
127.0.0.1
All of these variations ended up with the same error message, not recognizing
username and password.
I even changed the password to na App password generated by Yahoo, which is
simply a 16 character alphabetic string in lower case. Same error message.
With regards SPA, my Eudora was working quite well for 10 years or more, until
the 5 May this year, when I could not access incoming mail from the Yahoo
server. That is when I decided to use stunnel, but that has been unsuccessful
too.
My regards,
Joe

Things to check:
1) Are you specifying the FULL email address, including domain? Yahoo
requires this.
2) Try “localhost” instead of “127.0.0.1”; ISTR some problems with that.
I’m suspicious that this flat out may not be possible. Yahoo requires SPA
(Secure Password Authentication), apparently, and Eudora doesn’t appear to
support that.

Subject: Re: [stunnel-users] Need help connecting Eudora to mail servers
I have pared down the config file to the bare essentials, dealing with Yahoo
only, and still get the error message about username and password being not
recognized. I have tested these via browser access to my Yahoo server, and
found them to be correct.
Does anyone have any further suggestions please?
