Android code email doesn't send to yahoo mail

A common issue!

There could be several reasons why your Android app's email functionality is not sending emails to Yahoo Mail. Here are some potential solutions to help you troubleshoot the issue:

1. Check the email address and password: Ensure that the email address and password you're using to send the email are correct and valid. You can try sending an email using the same credentials on a web-based email client to verify if the issue is specific to your Android app.
2. Verify the SMTP settings: Yahoo Mail uses a specific set of SMTP settings to send emails. Make sure your app is using the correct SMTP settings:
   • SMTP server: smtp.mail.yahoo.com
   • Port: 587 (or 465 for SSL/TLS)
   • Authentication: PLAIN or LOGIN
   • Username: Your Yahoo Mail email address
   • Password: Your Yahoo Mail password
3. Enable less secure apps: Yahoo Mail has a feature called "Less Secure Apps" that allows apps to access your account. You need to enable this feature to allow your Android app to send emails:
   • Go to the Yahoo Mail website and sign in to your account.
   • Click on your profile picture or avatar in the top right corner, then select "Account Info".
   • Scroll down to the "Account security" section and toggle the switch next to "Less Secure Apps" to the "On" position.
4. Check the app's permissions: Ensure that your Android app has the necessary permissions to send emails:
   • In your app's AndroidManifest.xml file, add the following permissions:

     <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
     <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.SEND_SMS" />

5. Use a third-party library or service: If you're using a third-party library or service to send emails, ensure that it's compatible with Yahoo Mail and configured correctly.
6. Check for app-specific issues: If you're using a custom email client or a third-party library, try using a different email client or library to see if the issue persists.
7. Verify the email content: Ensure that the email content is not too large or contains any special characters that might be causing issues.

If none of these solutions work, you can try debugging your app to see if there are any errors or exceptions being thrown when sending the email. You can also try sending an email using a different email provider to see if the issue is specific to Yahoo Mail.

I hope this helps you troubleshoot the issue and get your Android app sending emails to Yahoo Mail successfully!
