I get a timeout for yahoo, at&t, and gmail.  (AT&T email is actually  
run by Yahoo, although it's an att.net server.)  As far as I can tell,  
all three should support this.  (I mainly use POP3 with balsa on my  
main desktop PC, but I use IMAP on my laptop, tablet, and phone.)  I'm  
using openssl 1.0.2j.  Is this likely a configuration issue on my part,  
or are there known problems with any of those providers?
