Nope. imap.xtra.... not working

 

I  had to change back to imap.mail.yahoo.com  , that one works

 

Any Spark guru's looking here, the webpages with setup info needs to be tidied up.
conflicting info re imap settings, see links below

Make sure your ports and login details are specified in correct format. Is the biggest roadblock

 

Their official stance.. https://www.spark.co.nz/help/internet-email/getstarted/email-on-computer/check-yahoo-xtra-pop-settings-thunderbird/ 

 

 

 

I changed mine about a month ago, and so far its been able to check things. The worry is my alternate email keeps getting the 'were changing your email' messages with the actual spark/xtra box about 3 days behind!

My IMAP is working fine here, thats where i got to this thread from. so i would assume you have a setting wrong somewhere if its not working for you.

 

i had to make sure the user name was my full xtra email address not just the bit before the @

Looks like its an issue at spark

 

Another one of their password  issues, saw on Facebook someone else has the same issue today

 

imap.yahoo works 100%
imap.xtra  : password  error
send : this stopped working on both ph & work PC (password error)
webmail : Password error

 

**  imap.yahoo works 100% , with the same password , so it can only be a weird xtra/spark/yahoo issue
