    Go into your yahoo email account on the web server, create an archive folder. Move your inbox emails to the archive folder. Delete any bulk mail. re-try Outlook; it should have solved the problem. Then go back into your web server and move the archived emails back into the inbox, they will download fine.


  • AL M Hi, I also experienced this problem which only occurred in the past 24 hours and I had not changed any settings on Yahoo server or Outlook.Oddly my sub account e-mail addresses were unaffected and worked as normal. I treble checked all settings but still had the problem.After following ladylilleth’s tip (above) all is now working fine.

    ladylilleth can you tell me why this problem occurred after 18 months of no problems?And many thanks for your tip!!!
