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.
