    I am having connection issues with my imap server. I use Yahaoo’s small business hosting plans and sometimes it runs into issues. I turned on debugging but really all it tells me is that I have an authentications issue:

    I am able to connect several different platforms to connect in with these same settings but they don’t seem to want to work here. It requires SSL and I have tried all three settings yet still same failure. Kind of at a loss on what to look at next.

    As I am looking at this a little closer and with fresher eyes, it looks to me as if it is the fopen() call that is failing because my Yahoo host does not allow fopen() and has php_flag allow_url_fopen off.

    I am seeing that it is recommended for security reasons to turn this off and for remote file access, consider using the cURL functions that PHP provides.

    I am not a PHP developer so no clue what to do in this instance. I doubt I am able to enable fopen() before the call and then disable it after the call since this is hosted on a Yahoo server and wouldn’t even knw where to do this at. Any ideas?

    Yahoo’s mail server only supports TLS connections. Use Buoy’s “Force TLSv1.2 (recommended)” setting.

    The fatal error is addressed in Buoy 0.3.4. Either apply this patch or update to Buoy 0.3.4 when generally available.

    Here’s the “official” patch, which has now made it to the Buoy development repository (instead of my own hotfix).
