They don't have one, and now their emails have a compulsory authorisation key which I can't workaround on my pc without my phone. my sight is so bad that it's hard to read the phone to get the code, and it's just double handling and stuffing around. utterly fed up, and the client reviews are written in incomprehensible geek speak. All because there are liars and thieves who won't leave other people alone. The curses of an unregulated environment, nationally and internationally. one way is to setup wine and a windows client, but I don't know how to do that. I can't interpret the documentation.
is there a current yahoo campatible email client?

I'm using portable thunderbird viewtopic.php?t=4085 , and my account is not yahoo, but it sends mail smtp through yahoo. So the outgoing mail is going through yahoo's server, and it sets up automatically and works. Don't know if would be okay with yahoo imap though.

I think Thunderbird will be fine with yahoo using both POP3 or IMAP.
Using the O2Auth option to retrieve and send mail should be something we can help set up. Once it is set, there will be no more logins and security codes needed.

last time i could use t'bird was abt a year ago, until the new authorisation system was brought in. never could easily send emails after that. their fix required a new code at each send. if you have a fix, i'm all ears, but you will have to guide me. thx.
