Hello, i have a problem to set up my A-Mail-Account (yahoo.de). I can fill the necessary fields (name, E-Mail, Password) and can choose imap-protocol. When i click on "done" a new window ist open. There i can fill the e-mail and password in the fields, then is shown "i prove if you are a robot". This will don't stop over a few of hours. Nothing goes on. I can only close this window. a screenshot shows the last status.
