   I just set up Imap yahoo email in seamonkey.  I used this info when   
   setting up:   
   https://help.yahoo.com/kb/SLN4075.html   
      
   In seamonkey's server settings I chose Qauth2.   
      
   It seems to be working, but at this point, I haven't changed the   
   outgoing server to yahoo yet, so if it works, it will be using the   
   google smtp server to send mail.  I'll change this next.   
      
   Good luck
