[MlMt] Yahoo account goes walkabout

[Dave C]

Every couple of weeks I get an announcement from MailMate that my Yahoo
account needs the password re-entered. Invariably it asks again after a
few seconds, repeatedly until I just tell it to go off-line.

It takes a few days before I can successfully get mail from this
account.

The odd thing is that my iPhone’s default mail app continues to
happily download mail from this account without nary a complaint.

Where is the problem?

Thanks,
Dave

That's a very good question. If you keep an Activity Viewer open
(⌥⌘0) then try using “Help ▸ Send Server Logs” just after it
starts failing. Maybe I can see something in the logs.
