[Users] Yahoo and Claws ( Sending this again ( 3RD ATTEMPT), for some reason it didnt come through to the list )

[Chris M]

Sending my message in again because for some reason the mail server is
ghosting FREE Yahoo accounts. 

I don't like using GMAIL because when mail lists email you back a copy
of your post, GMAIL discards it, so then I never know if my 
email went though to the list or not. 

This email was originally sent in yesterday, and I was wondering why I
hadn't heard anything back from anyone.

I cannot get Claws to connect to this Yahoo account. 

I followed the directions on:

https://www.claws-mail.org/faq/index.php/Installation_and_Configuration#How_can_I_use_my_free_Hotmail.2C_Yahoo.2C_or_AOL_email_account_via_Claws_Mail.3F


I opened Synaptic and searched for the package FREEPOPS, like the wiki
said, but nothing came up. 

In Evolution I just put in CM030 at YAHOO.COM

My Regular Password

And then on the first time I hit SEND / RECEIVE,  OAUTH pops up a sign
in window and I sign in with CM030 at YAHOO.COM and my Regular password. 
I can't get Claws to pop that OAUTH box up. It just trys to connect to
POP3, sits there awhile and then says "AUTHENTICATION FAILED."


How do I get Yahoo to connect?
