I've not had any trouble with Webmail for quite a while, but last
month I started getting this same RFC error, except for
login.yahoo.com.  I'm using TB 3.1.3, Webmail 1.3.9, Webmail-Yahoo
1.4.7.

login.yahoo.com : server does not support RFC 5746, see CVE-2009-3555

There is another error which sometimes accompanies the above error:

YahooPOPBETA.js: loginHandler : Exception : TypeError.
Error message: mainObject.m_aLoginForm[0].match(patternYahooSpanURI)
is null
399

I get the same errors in Windows and Mac OS X.

I haven't changed any of my TB or Webmail settings for over a year,
and yet Webmail stopped working, so something outside of my control
clearly changed.  Therefore I fail to see how recreating my Yahoo
account is an appropriate solution.  Please advise.

Thanks,
John
