• With the number of recent threads from brand new users that we have observed in our Classifieds forum selling goods under questionable circumstances, we have instituted a new policy restricting new members of iLounge from posting new threads in the Classifieds forum until they have reached "Regular Member" status.

    New users become Regular Members once they have made 10 posts and been a member of the iLounge Forums for at least 7 days. Prior to this time, members may still read the Classifieds forum, and even respond to existing threads for items being sold by other members, but they may not create new threads advertising their own items for sale.

    This will hopefully help to protect our user community by discouraging fraudulent users from signing up and posting classified ads without having at least a very basic level of established membership in our forums.

    Obviously all users should still exercise due diligence when making use of our classifieds forums, but we hope that this restriction will help to decrease the number of blatantly fraudulent ads that we have been seeing in recent weeks.

    Please be sure to review our Classified Forum Policy for more information.

Hi, Hoping you can help.

My current email client, on my new MacBook Pro, was recently sold. I wasn't a fan of the replacement so I decided to use Apple's Mail. Unfortunately, I cannot send mail because the outgoing server authentication isn't working. The Yahoo login popup stopped working with the old app. That application is no longer supported so when the Yahoo log in screen fails there is no support.

When I try to set up the account's outgoing server, in Mail, manually, OAUTH2 is not on the list of options. I have followed the online instructions (basically delete and recreate the account selecting "Other Mail Account" instead of Yahoo (who now manages AT&T's email). The instructions imply that I should see OAUTH2 in the list at this point but I am not.

Does anyone know how to fix this issue? Can you point me to better documentation? In terms of setting the server up on the Yahoo side that has been working for a few years.

I gave up on Mac Mail and Yahoo. After hours of attempting to get it to work, I installed Thunderbird and it worked in minutes.

Your message prompted me to try again, and still the same with the Mac Mail. It looks connected but it isn't, Yahoo is shown as offline, attempts to bring it online fails, the Connection Doctor is useless as it shows the connection attempt but nothing beyond that. The logs have no help either.

There are other issues from migrating the Mac from a previous Mac as well (looking for other email servers that don't exist, and I can't find where in the Settings to remove them.

I tried to manually set up the connection as well, and that failed. This is why I don't use Mac Mail anymore.
