Thank you, thank you, thank you.

I thought Yahoo just tightened security ( read: PROFITS ) and would NOT allow SMTP through any non-Yahoo service, but I tried this and it works in Calibre ( v4.23 for Windows 7 64 ).

Note, even though Yahoo claims we only need to use the generated password once, I found I needed to use it all the time, instead of my regular password, weird.

How did you find this?

You are way MORE than a "Junior" member here in my eyes.

One of the greatest things about Calibre are the peeps, like you!

Thank you, thank you, thank you.
