Yahoo problem sending E-mails

Top  Previous  Next

 

As with GMail, the Yahoo E-mail service has a new setting that can prevent E-mailing through their SMTP server.  If Campground Master suddenly stops being able to send confirmation E-mails and you use a Yahoo account (using the Yahoo SMTP server), it's most likely due to the new feature that blocks SMTP for a lot of people until you change a security option.

 

To solve it:

 

1. Sign in to your Yahoo account on the web.

 

2. Go to "Account Security Settings":

  https://login.yahoo.com/account/security#less-secure-apps

 

3. Toward the bottom you will find a box/section 'Allow apps that use less secure sign in'.  Make sure it's "on" (click to the right end of the slider, it should turn blue).

 

Now E-mail should work.
