Yahoo made some changes yesterday. Whatever they did is causing the Mac email POP client not to download anything sent on 4/29/2014 or after. Yahoo Support had me create another account - it, too, downloaded everything through 4/28 only.
My iPad works via IMAP but I don't want that. I can see it sitting on the server when I log into the browser.
I have an escalated trouble ticket in.
Update: as the day progresses, it gets even weirder. Mail now downloads but, when you click on it, it is blank. Then it disappears from the IN box.

Re: Yahoo! mail problems with Mac client
It must have been because I was an early complainer but, many calls back and forth later, they appear to have fixed it. Three days...
I've got to find some other hosting service. I pay too much for this.

Re: Yahoo! mail problems with Mac client - fixed finally
I've been getting very irritating behaviour from Yahoo for the past 2 months or so as well (Yahoo Small Business).
Not only do I get at least 600 or 800 spam emails a day, but if more than 100 of those gather in the server without me downloading them, then Mail won't be able to get any emails until I log into Yahoo's server and manually remove the Spam from the site. Only AFTER I do this will I be able to keep getting my email. So it happens that I must do this 3 or 4 times a day! How nice!
I really need to contact them about this.

Or change to a different service.... Gmail is pretty reliable. I use the mail server from my web host and can filter out most span quickly.
