[Users] Setting up Claws for Oauth2

[James Freer]

I would be grateful if someone could put me right as i seem to be
having problems. I want to set it up for yahoo and gmail accounts.

As i undestand it to set up claws one does

Configuration - Preferences for current account

Under Account one has
a] Basic
name of account named "yahoo"
Full name: James Freer
mail address: jrjfreer at yahoo.co.uk
server receiving: imap.mail.yahoo.com
server sending: smtp.mail.yahoo.com
userID: jrjfreer at yahoo.co.uk

b] Receive
authentication method selected "OAUTH2"
userID: jrjfreer at yahoo.co.uk

c] Send
authentication method selected "OAUTH2"
userID: jrjfreer at yahoo.co.uk

d] Compose
left blank apart from selected directory "en-GB"

e] Templates
left blank as i don't use any

f] Privacy
left as default

g] TLS
selected by default
IMAP use TLS
SMTP use TLS
clent certificates left blank
selected use non blicking TLS

h] Proxy
use proxy server
left not selected

i] Oauth2
selected OAUTH2 email service
provider selected "yahoo"
Client ID: jrjfreer at yahoo.co.uk
client secret left blank
obtain authorisation code "open default browser with request"

j] Advanced
selected support receiving port 465
selected IMAP sending 993

Then one goes to oauth2 and selects 'open default browser with request'
I get this 'Uh - Oh' [one should get a code which one then selects
with 'copy link' and then paste into 'authorisation code' space below.
That's what i am not getting. Screenshot attached.

I thought that userID maybe just the name i.e. in my case "jrjfreer"
not "jrjfreer at yahoo.co.uk" tried that and made no difference still the
same 'Uh-ho' when connecting with browser.
