Sill trying to wrap my head around how Scailer organizes email messages by groups. Bit of a challenge for me!

I noticed as I was clicking down the Group icons on the left side that if a group had messages in it, the right hand view pane would automatically fill with with the top email message in that group. But when a group was empty, the right hand pane did not display an empty pane. It just leaves the pane showing the last email viewed. I think the pane should go blank if the group is empty.

If I right-click on an email message to delete it, the right-click menu says "Remove". If I right-click on a Group (still trying to understand how Groups work!), it says Delete. They are both using the same icon. Is that by design or should they both say "Delete". I'm not used to using "Remove" to delete an email message. But if that's not a true delete function, then perhaps the use of Remove is more appropriate. It just seems to me they should both be Delete. Picky, I know!

After a bit of investigation, I came across this Yahoo information: https://help.yahoo.com/kb/generate-manage-third-party-passwo...

Yahoo now requires that you general a one-time use password for each unique client. Once I created that one-time password and used the Manual way of adding an account, I was able to successfully add Yahoo to my accounts. May I suggest that you add an FAQ about this to your FAQ page. And if you add Yahoo as one of your Account Providers, perhaps a link to the FAQ could be included with the icon for Yahoo. Or something like that.

Just downloaded and installed Scailer on a Windows 10 PC. I was able to hook my Gmail account into it without any problems at all. When I attempted to add my Yahoo account, it didn't work. I would imagine Yahoo is still quite popular but it was not listed. I had to use Other Provider, which is fine, except that it didn't work. It eventually threw the error: Cannon connect to SMTP Server. SMTP server replied with status 535: 5.7.0 (#AUTH005) Too many bad auth attempts. I tried the Manual way and all of the information pre-filled in the fields was exactly what the settings Yahoo suggests I use. Now to be fair, I had this same problem while attempting to test another email client.
