MailBot has been updated to version 17.21.

It is a well-known fact that for access via IMAP/POP3/SMTP to Yahoo/AOL accounts, you have long been required to create an application password, and for new accounts this function is disabled by Yahoo until 14 days have passed since the account was created. Even if you try to create such a password manually in the browser on an account less than 14 days old, you will get the error “Sorry, this feature is not available right now!”.

Of course, you can create an application password with the MailBot checker after 14 days, but this creates great inconvenience. But a solution has been found, and it is OAuth. Using the OAuth refresh token, which can now be generated by the Yahoo creator and checker in MailBot, you can access Yahoo accounts via IMAP/POP3/SMTP immediately after creating an account!

Everything works the same as for Outlook, just the “Generate OAuth2 refresh token” checkbox on the “Email features” tab is now available for Yahoo as well.

OAuth2 refresh token for Yahoo account looks like this:

By the way, to prevent the Yahoo creator from throwing up errors about the impossibility of creating an application password after creating an account, you can run MailBot with the following command line options:

MailBot.exe /apppass:off /POP3:off /IMAP:off /SMTP:off

Yahoo/AOL.com

Creators now successfully differentiate between invalid CAPTCHA code (ECAPTCHAWrongCode) and already used phone number (EEmailAPIPhoneUsedNumber) errors, rather than always generating EEmailAPIPhoneUsedNumber. This allows to diagnose problems with the reCAPTCHA Enterprise solution used by Yahoo/AOL.

If you are constantly getting ECAPTCHAWrongCode errors when creating Yahoo/AOL accounts, you need to Read more »
