You sure you want to use Yahoo knowing what are they capable of, or,
what they are not capable of doing, where they should?

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.
