My Outlook 2003 will not take my message from Yahoo! mail; message "receiving
reported error (0x80042110): 'Your POP3 server is providing inconsistent
information. The number of messages returned by the STAT command does not
match the numebr of items returned by the UIDL or LIST commands. Contact your
OPO# or Internet service provider.'" I contacted the ISP (Yahoo/AT&T) and
they said to contact MicroSoft. What gives?

What gives is that Yahoo doesn't want to deal with their problem. It is
definitely a server issue. If this were to happen to me, I'd access the
Yahoo mailbox via the web interface and move all the Inbox messages to
another folder on the server. I'd then use Outlook to perform a
send/receive (which should not download anything), then, again via the web
interface, move the messages saved earlier back into the Inbox on the server
and retry the send/receive in Outlook.
