I have a yahoo.fr mail account since 2005 and no problem to retrieve emails with thunderbird since a few days ago. Now, I receive the same email with the same date, over and over. And newer emails are not retrieved whereas I can see them on the webmail. I have tried to create a fresh new account to retrieve again my emails, but it appeared the same issue.

On other email account I have (yahoo, gmail, ...) I have no problem.

What can I do ? Is it thunderbird or yahoo that has a problem ?

Thank you

I made some tries on yahoo mail configuration. About POP settings, switching to "not send spam" and then "send spam with no [SPAM] in header", and it seems better.

Try to delete the message causing the trouble via webmail.
