Hi Chris,

no, pinging Yahoo doesn't work. But this is an additional problem - =
perhaps I tested too often. This is one of my accounts for Imap testing =
and I only copied the value from Mail.

For getting the error back this doesn't really matter.

>=20

>   imap_connection =3D imaplib.IMAP4(host)
>   print('success')
> except imaplib.IMAP4.error:
>   print('authentication failed')
