#81733 — Re: Getting errors from Imaplib

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.

> import imaplib
> 
> host = 'imap.mail.yahoo.com'
> try:
>   imap_connection = imaplib.IMAP4(host)
>   print('success')
> except imaplib.IMAP4.error:
>   print('authentication failed')

Mit freundlichen Grüßen/Regards
