Well, for what it’s worth, I tried and also couldn’t get this to work. I stand 
by my supposition that it’s because Yahoo implemented SPA 
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secure_Password_Authentication>  and Eudora 
doesn’t do 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?

ERROR MESSAGE
"There has been an error transferring your mail.
POP Server [[email protected]] said ERR [AUTH] Username and password not 
accepted"
I used the same password to open My Account on Yahoo website without any 
problems
