Q. Synchronizing from Yahoo to XXX
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
R. Use --host1 imap.mail.yahoo.com --ssl1
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
./imapsync \
|
|||
|
|
--host1 imap.mail.yahoo.com \
|
|||
|
|
--user1 billy \
|
|||
|
|
--password1 secret \
|
|||
|
|
--ssl1 \
|
|||
|
|
--host2 XXX \

--user2 billy \

SSL is mandatory for yahoo since November 2011.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
You also need to go to Yahoo, security and enable
|
|||
|
|
"Allow less secure apps to login",
|
|||
|
|
otherwise the login will not work.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
To enable less secure apps to login:
|
|||
|
|
* Login to the Yahoo mail account,
|
|||
|
|
* click on the account name or the avatar and select "Account Info",
|
|||
|
|
* click on "Account security",
|
|||
|
|
* turn off "Two steps verification"
|
|||
|
|
* turn on "Allow apps that use less secure authentication".
|
|||

Thanks to Eugen Mayer for this last point.

Another solution:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
* Login to the Yahoo mail account,
|
|||
|
|
* click on the account name or the avatar and select "Account Info",
|
|||
|
|
* click on "Account security",
|
|||
|
|
* Turn on "Two-step verification"
|
|||
|
|
* Click on "Manage app passwords" and
|
|||
|
|
generate a specific password for imapsync,
|
|||
|
|
choose "Other app" at the bottom and type imapsync
|
|||
|
|
since it is not in the predefined apps.
|
|||
|
|
* Use this password with imapsync.
