IMAP on Yahoo stopped working, probably with the 6.9 update
-
Using vivaldi 6.9.3447.37.
I noticed that I keep getting errors of the following two types since the update:
01:41:07.997 error [Mail - imap, [email protected], indexing] [UNAVAILABLE] UID FETCH Server error - Please try again later
01:41:33.831 error [Mail - imap, [email protected]] [LIMIT] LOGIN Rate limit hit.
It seems that it doesn't receive messages at all - I sent an email from another address and I got a notification on my mobile, but not in Vivaldi.
I think this started with the 6.9 update, but I'm not 100% sure. I rarely receive anything in this address so it might have been up to a week before, when I last got one. I definitely didn't notice these specific errors before, though.
-
First issue is likely due to second, LOGIN Rate limit hit.
The issue is not specific to any email client but to the number of logins made over a short period of time. To resolve this issue make sure none of your email clients are trying to access the Yahoo account for a period of time; not sure how long, it could be a few minutes to an hour. Hopefully after this period of inactivity the issue will have resolved itself.

@yojimbo274064400 I don't have anything doing that other than vivaldi. The mobile app running in the background too, but I don't think it would count.
Did vivaldi start trying to login more than it used to? In any case, I closed the browser overnight and I'm still having the same issue.
-
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.
