Several years ago (15 maybe), my original ISP shut up his mail server 
(to concentrate on other Digital work) so since then I've been using a 
freebie Yahoo.com.au email (where I had had an account for a while 
anyway) as my e-mail server.

This means I log into yahoo virtually every day .... which means I'm 
using Firefox virtually every day. ;-(

Can you not use POP to access Yahoo mail?

I think that was/is an option (might cost a few bucks though. My account 
is a freebie a.t.m.) but why bother?? ;-P

If that has changed, I'm not aware of it. AOL/Yahoo/... have at least
IMAP and SMTP, and I'm presuming POP too, for free, the issue will be
that, unless the "application password" option is still available,
you'll need to log in with OAuth2, and that has been AFAIK broken on
their side (requiring newer features) for a while.

Is your Yahoo account a freebie account, Dave, or do you pay something 
each month?

I have two free yahoo emails accounts.  I can access them using 
thunderbird (Imap) just fine.  It used to also work with seamonkey mail 
too, but recently one of the yahoo accounts no longer works.  I think 
seamonkey is trying to prompt for a password, but seamonkey is too 
broken now to even enter a password for the account.

That does not have to be Seamonkey's "fault", it would be Yahoo having 
changed their requirements to something Seamonkey can't provide.  I have 
a Gmail account I can no longer access using Seamonkey/Mail and I 
believe that was something Google changed.  It is not a big deal for me, 
I only created the Gmail account because Android pretty much requires 
one and I don't actually use it for communication.

Gmail now requires either OAuth2 or application-specific passwords
(which in turn require, I think, two-factor authentication to be
enabled, not meaning you have to use two-factor for authentication with
these passwords in SeaMonkey Mail&News or Thunderbird, but that the
feature to generate new application passwords will only be
visible/accessible in the Google account settings if you have two-factor
enabled on that account).

AOL/Yahoo/Verizon/... at least used to have a similar feature too, IIRC
without the two-factor requirement? (But this lack of requirement is a
detail I really should confirm...)


Do note that, with OAuth2, the server addresses have to match what's
provided in the instructions, alternative addresses that resolve to the
same server may not trigger the OAuth2 workflow. And, apparently, the
case has to match too (when in doubt, use lower case).

I had gmail working with OAuth2, then one day it ceased to work.  This 
is well over a year ago and I can't remember all the details, but I 
believe this did not happen after installing a new Seamonkey level.
There may have been some other update which triggered it, or it may have 
been something Google did.

Interesting.  I have a gmail account I use every day.  It still works 
perfectly with seamonkey browser AND seamonkey Mail (imap).

I have a Gmail account, too, and no difficulties using POP3 on SM since 
it required and I implemented OAuth2. It does nag me about a "new 
sign-on" whenever my IP address changes, but I just discard those 
messages and get on with my life.

I likewise have no problems with Gmail/Google here.  I use IMAP with 
Gmail in SeaMonkey and use contacts.google.com to add new ones on 
occasion as well as maps.google.com when something works better there 
than on the phone.
