Hi,

I'm not saying Yahoo can't be checked nowadays through POP3 or IMAP,
that I do, with both protocols, to date, without problems, but what
will happen on October 20th.

In case the app password becomes per-session, using Sylpheed wouldn't
worth, in my case, when I had to generate loads of app-passwords, what
is dumb as it would be the same as check the webmail, as you have
to login to Yahoo's account site; and with Sylpheed there isn't an
option to use Oauth, that is one of the other options.

Regards.
