I am looking for a way to allow a Yahoo application to read user emails through IMAP. It works well for older applications (which were created before the Yahoo Mail API was deprecated), but trying to access IMAP for new applications gives me an error
[AUTHENTICATIONFAILED] (#AUTH007) Bad scope.
Unfortunately, I do not know how to add the correct scope for IMAP access for new applications. At the time of creating the application, I had no choice to add an area with a name that even looked like mail.
Is the Yahoo API just broken or is there some kind of complicated way to work?
