<div class="moz-cite-prefix">My point exactly, this is getting down
to the wire, but I think some sort of announcement from our end on
the need for yahoo POP users to change settings would be helpful,
if for nothing else than to point to those seeking support for
their mail mysteriously stopping working, and there will be some.
Usually the least technically skilled of all that did not read the
email and did not read the text messages. My understanding is
Yahoo is still the most popular mail provider in the USA, despite
their repeated ball dropping and many are POP users if support
histories are anything to go by.<br>
<br>
We are going to see the exact same thing commence at Google in the
June/July time frame. Microsoft will probably not be so
aggressive as they have already had phishing attacks to gain
access using oAuth.<br>
<br>
The next issue is how do we modify the Account settings so ATT,
BT, Verizon, Rogers and I am sure others can use the Yahoo oAuth
to connect. Ideally I would like the user to be able to
separately specify an auth provider when oauth is selected,
instead of it being available only for selected providers. Needing
a software change each time one of the big providers signs a
contract for corporate or ISP email provision is not sustainable
in the long term I do not think.<br>

I'm planning to finish the patch, so as long as users upgrade
they should be fine. But yeah not too much time left.

before that date explaining the projects position.
