Same problem here, I mean, TLS/SSL handshake failed with yahoo servers,
not your sylpheed/claws mail configuration mix :-D.

I guess it's a change on Yahoo's side, don't know which one, but I also
notice this in output:

** (claws-mail:28327): WARNING **: 00:48:04.328: SSL/TLS connection failed (Internal error in memory allocation.)

** (claws-mail:28327): WARNING **: 00:48:04.332: can't initialize SSL/TLS.

** (claws-mail:28327): WARNING **: 00:48:04.332: [2020-05-11 00:48:04] SSL/TLS handshake failed
