Can't receive e-mails from YahooMail

[eby]

Hi,
I'm using microsoft outlook 2003. I have problem with receiving e-mails from
yahoo. Actually I have no problem with receiving mails but I've sent a test
mail from my yahoo account to outlook and it didn't receive the mail. But it
received the one I've sent from my hotmail. So I'm wondering the reason of
it, because I'm using ebay and it sometimes doesn't receive the mails from
ebay too. What might be the reason of it and how it can be fixed??
Thanks

Are you using POP to access your Yahoo account? If so, the only server-side
folder that POP can access is the Inbox folder. POP only understands the
concept of a mailbox, and that doesn't have folders. There are no commands
in POP to select or navigate to folders. So perhaps your test e-mail ended
up in the Junk, Spam, or Trash folders up on the mail server that you can
see using the webmail interface to your account but which a POP client will
never be able to access.

Many spam filters will see e-mail sent from yourself and to yourself as
spam. So use the webmail interface to your account to see if your test
e-mail got moved into a folder other than the Inbox.
