Yahoo breaks IMAP (was: Error Synchronizing Mail: Network Error)

[DallasFlier]

@DallasFlier well, it was a "magic" fix anyway, but I would appreciate a debug log from your account / folder.

Be happy to!  Can you point me to directions on where to find that debug log?

For debug log file

Thanks!

Log file sent to the kman address!

Thank you @Dallas.

Yep, same issue, and unfortunately the workaround isn't helping in *your* account / folder.

For the record, the workaround is:

Instead of asking the server for the list of "all unread messages", for Yahoo the code asks for "all unread messages received since January 1, 1900". The date is arbitrary, should make no practical difference.

I'm sorry to see that it didn't work in your account folder... you'll have to wait for Yahoo's fix...

1.5.1.13 with this fix published to Google Play as a "beta":

If all goes well, I'll release it for all users in a couple of days (or maybe Yahoo will get their act together by then).

It worked for me Kostya!!
Great work.
Thank you from Argentina!!

Sadly, I am one of the 25% I guess. I tried the beta, no love. Still get "Invalid server response". I sent you a log debug report. If I try the "create a new pop3 account" method, when this gets fixed, can I just delete that one? And how do I check that this one is Imap?
Thanks. Love the app.

Yes, you can just delete the POP account after. I had actually set my yahoo account up twice, one with POP and one with IMAP. It defaults to IMAP but you can check by long pressing on the account and clicking account setup and then manual. At the top it will say IMAP. It will be greyed out and you will not be able to change it but you will be able to specify it if you set up as a new account. You can leave the IMAP version set up if you don't want to delete it.

I have a new version with a different workaround.

It's a compromise (won't be able to subtract any hidden messages from a folder's total unread count), but, on the other hand...

... I hope it might work where 1.5.1.13 didn't.

@makoti, feel free to try:

But if 1.5.1.13 worked for you, just keep it, don't update.

I *think* what I'm going to do is:

- Promote 1.5.1.13 to "general release for everyone" tomorrow, since it works for about 3/4 of the users

- Keep a link to the 1.5.1.14.1 on my web site, for those less fortunate ones

[Kostya Vasilyev]

Yes, the Yahoo specific changes in both of these versions are only for when Yahoo is detected (by their server's initial greeting message).

For example:

* OK [CAPABILITY IMAP4rev1 ID NAMESPACE X-ID-ACLID UIDPLUS LITERAL+ CHILDREN XAPPLEPUSHSERVICE XYMHIGHESTMODSEQ AUTH=PLAIN AUTH=LOGIN AUTH=XOAUTH2 AUTH=XYMCOOKIE AUTH=XYMECOOKIE AUTH=XYMCOOKIEB64 AUTH=XYMPKI] IMAP4rev1 imapgate-1.8.1_01.61594 imap436.mail.ir2.yahoo.com

Just posted another "alternative workaround", under Development Builds, the version is 1.5.1.15-y1.

http://www.aqua-mail.com/forum/index.php?topic=3226.0

Should work for everyone, even where 1.5.1.13 didn't.

Drawback:

The per-folder unread counter will not include old messages beyond the "messages to sync" (default setting is "25 newest messages per folder", account level setting).

That is, only actually kept up to date (synced) messages will contribute to each folder's unread counter.

Worth installing if 1.5.1.13 didn't fix the issue.

If 1.5.1.13 works for you, then keep that one.

If you had this issue and 1.5.1.13 fixed it for you, I would appreciate if you could post a review in Google Play -- to counter the "app stopped working with Yahoo" negativity that's building up there.

( is "karma whore" the right expression here? )

I've left a review. This really is an awesome app and I appreciate how quickly you fixed the yahoo issue.

Neither 1.5.1.13 or your 1st workaround .14 worked for me, but this one did.

Thanks for your attention & perseverance! Off to post a review next...

[Kostya Vasilyev]

Glad to hear it, thanks!
