Re: [Fire-core] problems with yahoo

[Alan H. <al...@xm...>]

Thank you for bringing this to our attention. We are sorry to announce 
that Fire is having problems connecting with Yahoo.  On Thursday 
afternoon, the Yahoo servers were changed to support only their new 
protocol.  Unfortunately the changes we made in 0.32.e were not 
sufficient to allow Fire to continue working with Yahoo servers after 
this change. This is why you are seeing a message indicating that your 
password may be incorrect.

We are working with the developers of libyahoo2 to make the needed 
changes as soon as possible, and will release a new version of Fire as 
soon as it is available.

We are also aware of a crash which can happen when attempting to 
re-connect to Fire after being disconnected.  This will also be fixed 
in that new release of Fire.

For now, the recommendation is to turn off the setting to have Fire 
automatically connect to yahoo on startup.  Details are available in 
our FAQ here:

Thank you for your patience.
