XP, PP & Yahoo! (Fixed)
Posted: Tue Aug 31, 2021 1:28 pm
Is POP Peeper no longer compatible with Yahoo on a Windows XP and Firefox platform?
I originally had the passwords for my 2 Yahoo accounts stored in PP. A few weeks ago, PP and my Yahoo accounts stopped authenticating. However, I can still successfully log into both Yahoo accounts via Firefox.
--- Version ---
OS: Windows XP
POP Peeper: 5.1.2.0
Webmail: 5.1.0.0
SSL: 1.1.1.7
IMAP: 5.1.2.0
SendMail: 5.1.2.0
Profile Picture: 4.1.1.0 (disabled)
AntiJunk: 4.1.1.0 (disabled)
Spell Checker: 4.1.1.0 (disabled)
Web of Trust: 4.1.1.0 (disabled)
PPTweaker: 5.1.2.0
Updater: 1.0.0.0
Browser: Firefox: 52.9.0
--- Error ---
Yahoo [1000: IMAP] ['imap.mail.yahoo.com' (993) SSL: 1] [Smtp: 'smtp.mail.yahoo.com' (465) SSL: 1] [oauth: 0] [consec: 7]
- Login Error ([AUTHENTICATIONFAILED] LOGIN Invalid credentials)
- Edit account: pp://EditAccount?gibberish
- Tip: Edit the account and enable OAuth2, or use the following link:
- Set Oauth2: pp://OAuth2?gibberish
I have not added software or changed any setting on this computer either before or after these errors started. PP just began to err.
To troubleshoot, I deleted the accounts and after a few reboots, reentered the accounts with the same unsuccessful results.
I deleted the accounts again in PP and attempted to reenter with the OAuth2 standard.
Every step appears to work okay until I try to open the link in Firefox:
(1) Dialog Box: Launch Application: This link needs to open with an application. Send to:
(2) I choose POP Peeper Email Notifier
(3) I click the Open Link button
(4) Dialog Box: OAuth was NOT successful. You may need to try an alternate method.
I tried the 2 other methods with the same unsuccessful results.
After each attempt via OAuth2, Yahoo does send an email confirming PP successfully signed into my accounts: "Your Yahoo account was just used to sign in on POP Peeper."
It just seems like PP doesn't like the link for OAuth2 from my old version of Firefox.
Eager to troubleshoot with you...thanks!
