A clue! Yahoo have tightened up on being able to use Outlook for reading Yahoo mail. I would visit the Yahoo mail help pages and see if you can find any hints there. BTW my settings are for Yahoo.co.uk and I use pop.mail.yahoo.co.uk for incoming and my local server for sending.

So far, I have tried all and so far, I have only been able to send the email. I chose the option to only send my yahoo email, and that got it out of the Outbox. I have since deleted it from Yahoo! itself, but I guess now the problem is receiving mail. It is only coming from trying to download my Yahoo mail, because the other mail that is set up under Outlook is working fine (unless that is because there was no mail to download from the other account). I haven't had any trouble accessing my Yahoo mail from the web, so I don't know what the problem could be. Linda, I was able to locate the scanpst.exe file, but when doing a search for .pst files, my computer didn't find anything, so I couldn't locate anything to repair. I have also cleaned out all the emails in my inbox, and even when there is nothing there, I am still having a problem. . Now I just don't know what to do.

Since you turned off the feature, Outlook shouldn't be trying to send it again when you open it back up. Hope that's clearer. Linda F.

But, you definitely shouldn't have to uninstall and reinstall Outlook to do that. Go into Outlook's Tools>Options and turn off the feature that says to Send mail automatically when connected. Then close Outlook ... Then try deleting it again. As far as attachments go, no you can't send them to the group. But you can read the info in the footers of these messages and join the Files group and upload the attachments there. Or, you can just open the attachments, Select All, then copy/paste them into an email and send it to the group.
