Hi, I just discovered/fixed a few things for myself, tough I should share them here. It would be nice to put in wiki or something.

GMX
- only works for a few countries (US and UK)?

GMAIL

Code:

  hostname: imap.gmail.com
  username: yourName@gmail.com
  password: yourPassword
  encryption: TLS
  port: 587

needs to have less secure apps activated
https://myaccount.google.com/lesssecureapps
it might be a good idea to use a dedicated account because plugins might exploit your password

YAHOO

Code:

  hostname: smtp.mail.yahoo.com
  username: yourName@yahoo.com
  password: see bellow 
  encryption: TLS
  port: 587

needs a password app
https://login.yahoo.com/account/security
Manage app passwords -> Other App -> Generate
copy the password, it will copy without the white spaces
