My IMAP workaround stopped working for me after about 3 days. Back to EM Client.

I suspect (guess) the imap server number hard coded by Zimbra is outdated..

Human verification required error with Yahoo

I can receive but not send. I have access to other SMTP servers. They work on my yahoo accounts with other email clients but not Zimbra. Thus I must conclude it is a Zimbra snafu that really has nothing to do with yahoo's smtp servers. When I set it up with the gmail smtp server it works to send 1 email but then it goes back to errors. Incidentally, Yahoo's SMTP server was offline yesterday and I only found out when I saw several important emails in the outbox. I was using the Yahoo web client and that confirmed it. Then the down detector confirmed it again. https://downdetector.com/status/yahoo-mail

The Zimbra/Yahoo combination is not reliable and as pointed out has periodic problems and long waits for fixes. Yahoo makes you pay for third party client access so its no wonder they don't care much about these problems... and apparently neither does Zimbra. You get what you pay for though... it's free.

I have the same problem with my 3 Yahoo email accounts. I can receive but I cannot send. Gmail works find. I did have a human verification problem with one of my Yahoo accounts in Jan. Usually I just send an email to myself from the web version on that account and it comes up with the CAPTCHA box and enter the code and good. However no CAPCHA was generated this time. Turns out it was my cell phone that needed the verification. Logged on to Yahoo using the mobile version and it generated the CAPCHA box and fixed it. This now is not the same. Have tried deleting the account, check cell for verification and desktop web version with still no luck.

Receiving Yahoo emails in ZD is still working for me. I have not tried sending in a few days but I assume it no longer works.

Not quite. Try sending mail through yahoo. That's been out of commission for months. I'm in the process of changing everything to gmail and getting rid of all my yahoo accounts. Then I can pop it and dump zimbra once and for all. It's just too buggy and unreliable and they never update it even for major bugs. I've finally had it.
