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..
