Hi everyone. I have a very, very strange problem.
1) I have a Samsung Galaxy S5 running CyanogenMod 12.1, nightly 12.1-20150915-nightly-klte.
2) I have Android 5.1.1, therefore.
3) I use Gmail, and Yahoo! Mail.
4) My Yahoo! Mail account is accesssed via IMAP, but, weirdly, it appears with the Gmail accounts rather than in a freestanding Email account. I can't remember how I added it, but this is probably "deliberate" (I had more difficult fish to fry at the time!).
5) I changed my password for Yahoo! Mail at least twice on a completely different, and free-standing machine. I had to re-type the password in order to get back in on all other machines (e.g. browser access)
6) Despite this, the Gmail app on my Samsung S5 merrily continues to be able to access my Yahoo! account, even though there is no way it knows the password!!
7) This sounds like it should be impossible. Is it something to do with the frequency with which Yahoo! update IMAP passwords (i.e. maybe they only do it overnight) and so I have to wait 24 hours before my Gmail account / my Samsung s5 is blocked access?
8) When I log into Gmail online I see no evidence of any link to Yahoo!
9)The only clue I have is that when I go to CyanogenMod Accounts, I am not permitted to change the Yahoo! password (it says "Signed in with Yahoo!" and offers no password option in Accounts Settings >> [My Yahoo Account] >> Server Settings > Incoming Mail. The server is stated to be android.imap.mail.yahoo.com
Please help!
