Title: Oauth2 authorization on Yahoo
Post by: godd on March 25, 2017, 07:30:17 pm

Does Aquamail support OAUTH2 authorization on Yahoo? I know it was an issue back then but what about now? Yahoo keeps throwing annoying warnings on me every time I log in Yahoo in browser with suggestion to turn-off "unsecure" app access.
I just stumbled upon this very recent post on stackoverflow, wonder is it finally a way to do it?

I have found another way to create an app with the Mail API permissions enabled. I noticed if you include an 'api' parameter in the URL you can specify which scopes you want to include regardless of whether they are checked at the bottom. I noticed if you provided 'api=mail' in the URL it defaults to include Mail permissions. So to create a new app with Mail permissions use this URL:

https://developer.yahoo.com/apps/create/?api=mail

I'm not sure whether this information is still valid:

No, nothing's changed yet.

Can we hope that it is going to change?  ;)

We'll have something new for this soon, maybe even next week.
