Hi Yusef,
Is it just possible that 2 years of messages have simply
given the Freeserve and Yahoo servers electronic
indigestion?

Subject: [access-uk] email difficulties
Hi all, Was wandering if anyone could offer some advice on a
problem that a friend is having with her email. She is using
Microsoft Outlook 2000, has a multitude of email accounts,
uses freeserve as her ISP and downloads most of her mail
from a Yahoo account. She has her system set up to leave
emails on the server and to delete emails when she deletes
them in outlook.
Her problem is that from last Friday she has been unable to
download her unread messages. That is to say the process
will begin, a certain number (which varies) will be
downloaded just fine and then the download will stop.
She is then presented with an error which says something
along the lines of X number of emails could not be
downloaded, this figure varies and seems to bare no
relevance to the actual number of emails remaining to be
downloaded.
In the last two days no messages have been downloaded at
all. She is told that the server terminated the connection.
A couple of factors that we have both discussed.
1. She has messages stored on her computer and consequently
on the yahoo server going back a couple of years. Is it
possible that either outlook or yahoo's servers are confused
when they try to determine which emails have to be
downloaded and which to be ignored? I ttried to download her
messages for her and had the same problems. She is on dialup
I am on broadband. If this is the problem what is the point
in having the facility of storing up to 2 GB of messages in
her Yahoo account?
Thanks for any help
Yusuf
