It is obviously related to yahoo for all of us, but that does not mean Yahoo caused it.

While it might be that Yahoo has done some changes, I have other mail clients (Thunderbird
on Ubuntu, K9 on Android, Mailmate on Mac) that have not been updated and have had no
problem with yahoo. We are very specifically looking at Evolution in relation to Yahoo.

Two mere suspicions, and I have no way to check due to lack of knowledge, a) there was an
update on Ubuntu that caused the issue. b) indeed, yahoo did some changes, but they were
no problem before. Whatever library in the background handles this, worked fine so far,
but could not cope with this hypothetical change. Then it must be that Thunderbird works
differently.

cheers, Martin
