Yahoo Mail
Ingests Yahoo mailboxes over IMAP, authenticating with Yahoo OAuth instead of a password. Built on the shared ImapTaskBase so the underlying ingestion is identical to the generic IMAP integration.

What gets ingested
| Element | Mapped to |
|---|---|
| Yahoo messages | _Message |

Authentication
- Type: OAuth via Yahoo. The connector refreshes the access token via the Curiosity OAuth broker before each run.
- IMAP host: fixed to
imap.mail.yahoo.com:993.

Access control mapping
- Per-user mailbox; ACLs follow the connecting user's identity.
Sync cadence
- Default cron: every 15 minutes.
- Incremental sync: identical to the generic IMAP connector — per-folder UID + UIDVALIDITY tracking.
