Hi, I can no longer read e-mails from Yahoo Verizon. I can send them. I am getting a messageBox with the error "The RETR command did not succeed. Error retrieving a message. Mail server incoming.yahoo.verizon.net responded: problem retrieving message."

I verified my settings, which were working up until I tried to read any mail from June 2014 onward. Settings: incoming.yahoo.verizon.net, port 995, POP3, SSL/TLS normal password, automatically download new message, leave messages on server

Running Fedora 20, Thunderbird 24.7.0

Thanks Bob Cavanaugh

Isisombululo esikhethiwe

I assume Yahoo have reindexed all their mail yet again (Their service is rubbish really if oyu don't use web mail)

Open your profile folder, locate the popstate.dat file and delete it.

ALL mail currently on the server will download. if that is 100,000 mils then that is what it will be. You seriously need to consider using IMAP as they can not screw it up as badly as they do POP.
