  • Hi @b3rtholdo – Yahoo is super strict in this case that by default it does not allow third-party products access the email servers. You’ll need to enable the option to allow apps that use the less secure sign in from the security section.

    I hope this helps!

    Hi @b3rtholdo – We haven’t heard from you in about a week, so I’m going to go ahead and mark this ticket resolved. If you still have questions, though, please feel welcome to continue the conversation.
