Comment (by taos):

 You were faster than me, I was about to add this comment:

 After I removed most of the older mails from my inbox on the yahoo server
 I indeed suceeded in retrieving a number of mails (4/21, but they were not
 sorted by my e-mail filters in the corresponding folders).

 Terminal output is now:

 {{{
 POP3Protocol::SyncMessages()
 POP3: Messages to download: 21
 POP3Protocol::Retrieve Note: message size is 6716, was expecting 6719, for
 message #0.  Could be a transmission error or a bad POP server
 implementation (does it remove escape codes when it counts size?).
 POP3: Can't create file /boot/home/mail/in/Downloading file... uid:
 ANVuUtQAAG/8TXjxAwfzLi9xJnM
 }}}

 So, I suppose mail_daemon does definitely not like certain mails - but
 why?

 I think I found an e-mail that was downloaded fine by the old mail_daemon
 but can't be retrieved by the new one. If you are interested I could look
 for strange formatting or special characters.
