IMAP on Yahoo stopped working, probably with the 6.9 update

In that case consider clearing the Console log and then when the issue occurs search for the text login "your-email-address-between-quotes", i.e.
login "用心棒@yahoo.com"
How many times does it appear?

@GistOfSpirit Same problem!
-
I removed the account, waited a few days, created a new app password and re-added the account. It began having the same problem almost immediately.
I'm still not sure if it's because of a change Vivaldi made or a change Yahoo made, however.

@GistOfSpirit I did the same.

The real Yahoo! password is not able to fetch anything.

I'm afraid that it is a new Yahoo! issue, so we will be forced to use Yahoo! webmail or another allowed mail client.

Hi, the Vivaldi developer work on a solution, as workaround use an app password created in your Yahoo account.
Simple password and OAuth are not working at moment.Cheers, mib

Simple password and OAuth are not working at moment.It seems that last version 6.9.3447.41 (Stable channel) (64-bit) has fixed the issue about the app Yahoo! passwords (only an initial error after the configuration is still present). OAuth is still not working. Thanks.

I thought this had been fixed, but when I went to check my wife's Yahoo! mail it seems "fails to fetch" is still happening for OAuth.
I was able to generate an app password to get round this but never had to in the past.

Hi, I am not sure about the snapshot but it is fixed in my internal 6.10 version.
Just tested with OAuth.Cheers, mib

This was on a machine with current stable (I test snapshot on my daily work laptop, the rest of the house - where my wife will be using it - is on stable).

@mossman
Yes, it is not backported to stable, I checked snapshot Vivaldi 6.10.3468.4 and it work there too.
I hope we get this fix to stable in one of the next updates. -
Again the problem with IMAP Yahoo! Mail!
This is the Vivaldi browser version I used:
7.0.3495.27 (Stable channel) (64-bit)It works with mail clients like Outlook or Thunderbird but not with Vivaldi Mail using both the app password and OAuth.
But how come you can’t communicate with Yahoo! ?!
