Are you a Yahoo Plus subscriber?

Disable email scanning by your anti-virus application. It provides no
additional protection, it may be causing the problem, and even Symantec says
it's not necessary:

<QP>
Disabling Email Scanning does not leave you unprotected against viruses that
are distributed as email attachments. Norton AntiVirus Auto-Protect scans
incoming files as they are saved to your hard drive, including email and
email attachments. Email Scanning is just another layer on top of this. To
make sure that Auto-Protect is providing the maximum protection, keep
Auto-Protect enabled and run LiveUpdate regularly to ensure that you have
the most recent virus definitions.

Why you don't need your anti-virus to scan your email

You are not using the correct server names and settings for a Yahoo
'Mail Plus' account. If you have this premium "Mail Plus" service:
http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/mai...iew/index.html
then use the special settings for that service:
