<p>Yahoo is not the only one.  Gmail also has an "Allow less secure apps" option the needs to be enabled for Pegasus Mail to POP messages.  At least at one time it did.  I haven't tested Pegasus Mail v4.7x with that option disabled. </p><p>  </p>

<p> </p><p>Today, quite unusually, I accessed a Yahoo email account via browser.  I was met with a pop-up:</p><p> <b><i>turn off less secure access to your inbox!</i></b> </p><p><i>"Please disable non-Yahoo apps that use less secure sign in methods from accessing Yahoo Mail. Not doing so may leave your account vulnerable to compromise."</i></p><p>Being aware of the Yahoo HACK, I approved the option... & so began some real problems.  Immediately the account password was no longer accepted; then, while attempting to reset the password thru a secondary account,this message was received:</p><p><i>"Your account is currently not enabled to sign in from apps, that do not meet modern security standards (ex. Older versions of mail and calendar apps such as Outlook). As a result, we prevented a sign in to your Yahoo account"</i></p><p>Still fighting w/ Yahoo for a resolution... but, time to go elsewhere... at least I haven't held on to my AOL account. </p><p> </p><i> </i><i> </i><i> </i><table style="table-layout: fixed;" dir="ltr" width="854" height="19" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" bgcolor="#ffffff"><tbody><tr><td style="MIN-WIDTH: 500px" valign="top" align="center"> </td></tr></tbody></table>

<p> </p><p>Yep, thanks Brian... that does describe the problem & off-putting solution. </p>
