Yahoo - imap_open()

Question

I don't found right answer, how to connect yahoo imap mail server. Other connection works (gmail, outlook, hotmail), but yahoo not.

imap_open("{imap.mail.yahoo.com:993/imap/ssl/novalidate-cert}INBOX", "email_address", "password");

Error exception:

Unknown: Retrying PLAIN authentication after [AUTHENTICATIONFAILED] AUTHENTICATE Invalid credentials (errflg=1)

I tryed without novalidate-cert, but nothing.

Use out of the box mail functionality laravel.com/docs/5.6/mail#introduction. Stop using raw functions like imap_open and use framework brewde. — Kyslik
