Password Problem with Yahoo
Reported by Aleksandar Sipkoski | December 16th, 2016 @ 09:39 AM
Hello from Paris France,
Got a problem with several yahoo IMAP account
An error message appear each time i try to take "my_email_adress"
online
it says :
Enter password for “myemail@yahoo.fr” at
“imap.mail.yahoo.com”
Server response: “H0 NO AUTHENTICATIONFAILED”. Command attempted:
“••••••••••”.
Please enter password for user name “myemail@yahoo.fr”.
I write down my email there and hit "save password in
keychain"
but after a while the error window appear again...
Here are the settings in Mailmate :
Description : myfullemailadresss@yahoo.fr
Full name : myfullemailadresss@yahoo.fr
Email Adress : myfullemailadresss@yahoo.fr
IMAP server : imap.mail.yahoo.com
User name : myfullemailadresss@yahoo.fr
password : •••••
Port : 993
Require SSL : ticked
SMTP server : smtp.mail.yahoo.com
Port : 465
Require SSL : ticket
On yahoo on the web :
- I have tried to change my password on the web on yahoo.com then
put that new password in mailmate - in the security settings i have
ticked "authorise apps using a less secure connection" it's in
french sorry maybe my translation is wrong but hopefully you get
what i mean there.
On my iphone
- Connection to my yahoomail from my iPhone is OK (it synchs)
I have several yahoo accounts none of them are working with
mailmate :-(
Please help !

Do you use two-step verification? In that case you need an application specific password.
I have a Yahoo test account which still works (even though Yahoo IMAP is very buggy).
Let me know if it's not fixed by using an application specific password.

Hi benny,
thx for your answer
I don't use 2-step verification.

- State changed from “new” to “closed”
So it appears it was a temporary issue of some sort. This was not really indicated by the error message though...
Let me know if it happens again.
