Yahoo mail with YAM (Solved)

I've been trying to get my Yahoo emails with YAM using the Yahoo POP3 server and am unable to succeed. I'm using YAM 2.10-dev which has updated SSL support and have made what I think are the correct POP server settings in YAM. Here is the error I get when attempting to get messages from Yahoo (with my Yahoo username changed to 'myaccount'):

-----------------------------------------------------------
Bad response from mail server
'pop.mail.yahoo.com' of account
'myaccount@yahoo.com' to command 'PASS':

The mail server couldn't execute the
command and replied with the above error
message.
------------------------------------------------------------

Is there anyone who is getting Yahoo mail with YAM through the Yahoo POP3 server. I would appreciate any help.

@xenic

I have that working using the settings below.
Description myself@yahoo@pop.mail.yahoo.com
Port 995
Connection Security SSL/TSL
Authentication Plain Password
Username myself
Password

Cheers

@xenic

can't remember exactly where, but I remember I also had to change yahoo's settings and disable secure password (or enable plain password) and then set up the way TiredOfLife explained.

@Amigo1
I had the same problem with getting emails from the GMail POP3 server but have found the problem in both cases. I had to go to account security settings at Yahoo and GMail and activate: "Allow apps that use less secure sign in".

I don't know if Yahoo & Google detect something unsecure in the way YAM accesses POP3 servers or if they just consider any application they are not familiar with as unsecure. lf YAM isn't doing anything wrong then maybe the YAM devs need to add a configurable spoofing mode to YAM.

Is there a known issue with yahoo and "other" mailers?
When I press send, an error pops up about connections problems to smtp.mail.yahoo.com

I`ve YAM 2.10-dev, AmiSSL 4.8 and no settings changed to yahoo & YAM, last mail successfully sent on February.

My yahoo account stopped working suddenly too by the end of February on my phone email client. No changes made by me in the client or yahoo account either.

I solved it after some days creating an app password in yahoo for the email client. No problem since then. Maybe that helps you too with Yam.

Any system that uses the standards based way of logging in, rather than the platform's proprietary login system, is considered insecure. Because it can't then be integrated with modern 2FA methods.
