(1/3) > >>

jraju:
Hi, Everything was fine. I also know that yahoo only allowed already imap/pop configured accounts to imap those to other mail such as gmail. I am having a yahoo ac, which when imapped, with gmail, getting all the mails transfered to gmail and i could look at gmail to open and then send the reply etc. This was working fine. But now, the test message i sent from my own gmail to yahoo , has not been received back by gmail, which was the case before. I could send a test msg thro my gmail, which would be received  by yahoo mail and then as it is imapped to gmail would return the same . This particular aspect is not working. If i go to yahoo mail and then send a mail to gmail, it is being received. pl give solution

Boggin:
Can't help with that.

Do Yahoo have a help forum where you could ask the question ?

Muhammad Tasneem:
From sometimes Yahoo creating too much problem. Changing it's policies and setting time to time.

If it was working before, than you need to check the settings specially "Allow less secure app" .

Now Yahoo only allowe secured apps (in other words only Yahoo apps).

Go to "Account Info" than "Account Security" and than enable "Allow less secure apps" by sliding the button.

Hope it will help you.

Hi, I have done that settings. I sent a test msg from my gmail account. The alert from yahoo in change of security was instant. Will it take time to deliver the imap messages. I have already enabled the same settings in gmail, which is on by default.

Muhammad Tasneem:
IMAP settings effective immediately. If you can't receive the Yahoo mails on Gmail, it means you need to reconfigure Gmail settings for Yahoo.

I suggest you delete the old settings and add as new Yahoo imap account.

Please remember Yahoo also update his ports and only SSL/TSL support now.

For testing purposes you  can configure any email client (in which you have expertise like outlook, postbox, inscribe, The Bat!, etc)  for testing the Yahoo imap settings.
