Sigh. Updates definitions. Changes in what it scans for, perhaps. I
wouldn't expect it to change how it logs on to the server, retrieves
messages.

There's only one way to find out. Uninstall AVG (you're using an outdated
version, BTW. It's at 9, now). Reboot, and custom reinstall WITHOUT the
email module.

I downloaded v9 weeks ago, was waiting to see what problems others
might have.

You're already protected with the resident scanner. The email scanning is
marketing hype.

AVG 9 is installed, w/o Email scan. Same message retrieve error persists.
No difference.

Evidently, it logs me on, finds 25 messages waiting, then draws the error
when
it tries to retrieve the 1st message.

Yes, this is exactly what the log is telling you.

I make the -ERR [SYS/TEMP] as a server error. Do you concur?

I do. The "[rx]" designation is for the messages that are coming in from the
server. If this were happening to me, I'd log into the SBC Yahoo mailbox via
a web browse and move the first message in the Inbox to another folder (create
one if you don't have one handy), then try Outlook again to see if the problem
is the message in the Inbox. While you're there, you might want to check the
"spam" folder for accumulated messages.

I put a couple of first-que'd messages in a "test" folder. I get the same error.

I've been monitoring it. Normally I get 4-8 spam msgs per day. Since the
problem began, the spam folder shows nothing new. The most recent spam
date is Wed, 4/28/10. I figger something like 20-60 spam msgs failed
to make it to the spam folder.

Can you make anything of that? I'm pert near clueless.

Thx,

What I would do in this case is to move everything out of the server-side
Inbox and see if Outlook can complete a send/receive. If not, I'd try a new
mail profile. You say you're using Outlook 2000. If it's in Internet Mail
Only mode, that's a problem because it's not easy to create a new mail
profile. You have to mess with the registry. I always found it easier to
convert to Corporate/Workgroup mode because then the Mail applet in Control
Panel would allow me to create a new profile without using regedit..
HelpAbout will tell you wich you're using.

I just mentioned it because POP doesn't ever check that folder and if you use
a mail client, there's little reason to ever log into the server via web.
Server-side spam folders can get very full.

I finally got a competent ATT support-critter to elevate the problem
to Yahoo server support (yes, it actually exists) where a corrupted
mailbox was "fixed".

Much thanks for help with this.
