Last December yahoo mail stopped downloading. Server error. I'm not the only one. On Yahoo's support page the fellow only replied that the server is working. The jerks did away with personal support years ago. They also do not notify us of changes to their methods. I see no errors in my POP settings.

Matt, that was an absolutely rotten attitude to my research efforts. You have spoiled this experience.
