   Yahoo is a no go.. :( They also did away with the less secure apps switch.. As   
   for the difference, they want you to now use a "App Password" for less secure   
   apps, I think it may have something to do with the 2 step verification has to   
   be turned on to get the password prompt. Not sure what the difference in the   
   sending of user id and password is though.. I just get a could not connect to   
   smtp server in my error log.   
      
   I know I am not being much of a help if there is anything I can do let me   
   know.. I will also check out smtptogo..
