Best Email Program on ArcaOS
Dave Yeo:
The problem with PMMail is that it doesn't handle some of the security connections that these big email providers demand. Perhaps if it now supports the correct TLS, an app password would also work.
David McKenna:
I have also been using PMMail with Comcast for many years with almost no issues. The only issue I have had is when a message must be read in a browser and the browser doesn't support the Javascript junk it contains.

The new PMMAIL version from OS/2 VOICE can a setup with stunnel to provide encryption.

Both SSL/TLS and StartTLS?
I see for Gmail, I'm using SSL/TLS and normal password so likely to work with stunnel. I'd guess that Outlook is similar.

I think the topic is a bit misleading. I think you're really want to know with which program can you connect to your preferred email provider.
Our Seamonkey/Thunderbird are perfectly well email programs. Means displaying, filter, manage emails and different email accounts.
But you seem to have problems to fetch emails from some providers. First I think you've to decide if you wanna IMAP or POP and which provider do you need/like. Different providers have different authentication restrictions. That's why this discussion went of to Oaut or stunnel.... F.e. my providers don't need fancy Oaut. I usually use POP with gmx.net and a1.net. But if you need to use gmail I think the question have to be 'how to fetch email from gmail (POP/IMAP?)'? Mind Google is known to change things quite often. It also seems that Google (gmail) currently uses different restrictions in different parts of the world. So when it works f.i. here in Europe it does not mean it will in Australia. (See current discussion on weasel list.)
So I think you've to find out first what Google and Yahoo needs in your area. No clue where you're living Craig, but maybe someone in your region knows the information. I for myself quit all gmail related services a while ago as I found it to be too cumbersome to follow there ever changing restrictions.
