Setup Yahoo business email account

[muscles614]

I have been trying to setup ZDsktop to retrieve email from my Yahoo business email account , but have been unsuccessful so far. The Yahoo account type option is not workable since it defaults to a yahoo.com email id. Business email provided by yahoo has a different domain. If I try to setup the account a generic POP account, the setup fails because it recognizes the pop server (pop.bizmail.yahoo.com) as a yahoo.com domain server and hence forces me to change it to IMAP access. IMAP setup just returns a response of "+OK hello from popgate 2.38.7 on pop100.biz.mail.mud.yahoo.com" and the profile never gets saved. Any recommendations on how to use the ZDesktop client with a yahoo business email account.

We don't yet support ymail business account with a different domain name. Please file a bug in bugzilla. Thanks!

The last post was from April 08.

Has there been any update on the support of Yahoo! Business Mail accounts since then?

When I use name@mydomain.com in the "Yahoo Mail Account" setup, I actually get the mail from the name2@yahoo.com account that is associated with my Business Mail account.

we have fixed the issue on our side, but there's a bizmail related authentication issue that's affecting all imap clients including iphones. that issue is being investigated by the yahoo mail server team.

OK, but it's been over a month now.

Any updates on this issue?

I would really like to use Zimbra's external accounts to pull mail from my yahoo small business account that uses the server pop.bizmail.yahoo.com
