  • I just set up my outlook to pop into Yahoo Mail (2GIg, upgrade). I have Outlook set not to delete mail from server (I need to archive it). The problem is that evertime outlook pop into Yahoo it downloads ALL the messages in the inbox. Anyway I can configure either yahoo or my outlook so it only download NEW messages?

    Greetings QuestionsPerson! I contacted Yahoo! customer support about your problem and this is the reply that I received: "From the information you've provided, it sounds as though the email client you are using is not requesting the information from our server correctly. Sometimes, even though you have configured the client properly, a corruption may occur and result in improper behavior. We recommend completely removing the Yahoo! Mail account settings from your email client then reconfigure the account again. (Note: If you're using Netscape, we do not recommend removing the account, as this will cause a new Inbox to be created)" Also, check in your Yahoo account settings. I know that a lot of web services which offer POP access there is a setting which can be turned on or off controlling which messages download. If this does not fix your problem, please let request a clarification and we'll try to find what else may be causing the problem Best, djbaker-ga
