    Well here's an update.  I downloaded Yahoo-mail 1-3-4b33 and installed it.  Didn't seem to do much.  But then I switched on the Yahoo page to the Classic view, and the "negative vibes" error went away.  I got one email then, but now again nothing since.  Now when I switch from new Yahoo mail back to Classic Mail down in the status bar it says "host contacted Sending login information"  The It'll say "downloading 1of 1 message".  Then I get an error that the server localhost timed out.   I get no message.
    I can send messages without a problem.
    Go figure.  Anybody know of a good shrink?  I think I'm going to have to talk this out soon.  My head feels like it's going to explode.
    I wish I could just let it go.  Thanks for listening.

    Do you have anti-virus software running all the time?    If so, which one?

    I seem to recall from that google group,  that some posters there were having trouble with some virus scanners blocking their email now,  and that this is something new.
    Did you catch those comments there?

      Willy, I use AVG and it seems to be no problem.  I have tried to turn off the email scanner earlier and there was no difference. 
      Good thought though.

      Ok.


      Other than noticing your above, "...But then I switched on the Yahoo page to the Classic view, and the "negative vibes" error went away.  I got one email then, but now again nothing since. ..."
      seems to be backwards from what I would expect,  I don't know what else to recommend.   
      I would have expected it to stop with the negative vibes when you switched
      from the Classic view with the "Upgrade to the all-new Yahoo..."

      When it is configured properly, it seems to work ok here.

      You said you got "nothing since".    This may sound silly,  but was there more new mail there to get?      :)

          The only time I get a "time-out" error is when I try to download a message that has an attachment, and the size of the attachment is greater than 5Mb.

          Maybe that's why you get a time-out error?

            Thanks Astoria, but it was only a couple of characters I sent in an email to myself for a test.
