yahoo IMAP/POP3 and SMTP Error
« on: March 01, 2014, 12:39:30 pm »
With IMAP  i get the error that the Service is not available, the same with SMTP,
other Emailaccounts like GMX,WEB, T-Online, Gmail are working with IMAP and no errors apear. Is this Known that Yahoo IMAP is not working ?
POP3 is also not working; with the same ! values, the PC with Outlook 2010 is working perfect, only Aqua Mail not !

Thanks

Well, Yahoo is pretty famous for occasional unpredictable authentication errors (if you search the web, this goes back to 2007 and maybe even before that).

I just tried a test account I have with @yahoo, and it worked fine, so this issue does not happen with *all* Yahoo accounts.

For mail server settings, I just let Aqua use its presets, which are these:

Can you long press the account -> account setup -> Manual and verify that your account is configured using same exact settings?

In AquaMail terms: imap.mail.yahoo.com, SSL, port 993 -- and -- smtp.mail.yahoo.com, SSL, port 465. If you see "android." in server names, just remove it.

Don't know what to say about Outlook, maybe it's configured with different server names? Something's got to be different!
