SUMMARY *** Adding yahoo emails to kmail is impossible, as the app opens up a Google login webpage Trying to change the authentication method to others like "Plain", "login" etc. doesn't do anything. I have even disabled my 2FA on my yahoo account, it is still not working. It shows the account as "ready" in the settings with a green check, but there is nothing coming through. *** STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Add a yahoo account to kmail is the only step you need to reproduce this issue OBSERVED RESULT Authentication opens a Google sign in web page even though Yahoo is the account being added to kmail EXPECTED RESULT To be able to add yahoo accounts to kmail - To open an actual yahoo authentication window to sing in and add the yahoo account SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Operating System: EndeavourOS KDE Plasma Version: 5.26.3 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.100.0 Qt Version: 5.15.7 Kernel Version: 6.0.9-arch1-1 (64-bit) Graphics Platform: X11 Processors: 8 × Intel® Core™ i7-8550U CPU @ 1.80GHz Memory: 15.4 GiB of RAM Graphics Processor: Mesa Intel® UHD Graphics 620 Manufacturer: Dell Inc.

I find that using "Clear text" as an authentication method works. Although this still requires the user to put an "App Password" if 2-factor authentication is present. It would be nice to have the "Yahoo" authentication method alongside "Google" in the drop-down menu. Or, alternatively, one could call that entry XOAUTH2 (like it is in the SMTP part) and have KMail figure out which website to open. I think would be a great feature, I hope some devs will notice this bug.
