Outlook has stopped downloading mails

I have been using Outlook with my yahoo account for a good while now but
recently it has stopped downloading my mails.

I have had everything checked and everything is working OK but it still wont
download them. I have to go into yahoo and delete all my mails then it will
download a few then stop again, every time I click send/receive it may
download another couple of messages.

There is no change in the type of mail that I am getting and it's doing my
head in having to delete everything.

Can anyone help?

What version of Outlook are you using? Are there any send/receive errors
messages and/or numbers?
What size is your PST file?

It's 2003 I think and it says that the server timed out waiting for the POP
server to respond.
Not sure about a PST file....any clues?

How frequently do you have it set to send/receive email?

Do a file search for outlook.pst or *.pst. If it finds archive.pst, ignore
it. You will have to enable your search to look through hidden folders and
files.

As for the error message, you need to be more precise and post the exact
message.

To determine your version of Outlook click on Help > About.

Do you have antivirus configured to scan incoming and outgoing email?

I am having a similar problem where I have not received emails for the last 3
days. I have tried to send emails from my AOL account (did not receive), my
company website (did not receive) but when I send it from Yahoo directly, I
get the message. I am using Outlook 2007

Has anyone come up with a fix for this problem? I hit send and receive and
nothing happens. I went into account setup and tested the connection, and it
worked, but can't get Outlook to send or receive. Any help would be
appreciated.

Thanks!
