i have got avg internet security but have turned off the email scanner for
several days now.
what is the likely cause of receiving these same emails over and again?
would that be due to the server as well?
thanks.

:
The "ERR [IN-USE] maildrop busy" error means there is a problem at the
server. All you can do is wait it out since that error should clear by itself.
It is often caused by checking mail repeatedly at too short an interval. If you
are using an automatic mail check, be sure the interval is at least 5 minutes.
The Windows Live Mail error is the same as before, and indicates interference
from an antivirus program. Which antivirus are you running?

have changed from port 995 to 110 to receive and unselected ssl. using avg
internet security and have turned email scanning off.
error message now on windows mail:
Account: 'J TOLLEY - BT Yahoo! Mail', Server: 'mail.btinternet.com',
Protocol: POP3, Server Response: '-ERR [IN-USE] maildrop busy.', Port: 110,
Secure(SSL): No, Server Error: 0x800CCC90, Error Number: 0x800CCC92
error message on windows live mail:
Unable to send or receive messages for the J TOLLEY - BT Yahoo! Mail
account. A time-out occurred while communicating with the server.
Server: 'mail.btinternet.com'
Windows Live Mail Error ID: 0x800CCC19
Protocol: POP3
Port: 110
Secure(SSL): No
:
I am curious why you are using a different port (995) with Windows Mail
than you are using with Windows Live Mail (port 110).
According to your provider:
http://bt.custhelp.com/cgi-bin/bt.c..._cv=4.414&p_cats=346,401,412,414&p_faqid=9701
you should be using the standard ports, which for receiving is 110.
Also unselect the SSL option.
The error you are seeing in Windows Live Mail is usually caused by
interference from an antivirus program. Which antivirus are you running?
As a minimum, email scanning in the antivirus should be turned off.

it is a bt yahoo account in the uk. paid for bt broadband so yes i guess.
went onto yahoo mail to view emails. windows mail cannot download emails
anymore from this server. error message for windows mail reads:

Mail', Server: 'mail.btinternet.com', Protocol: POP3, Port: 995, Secure(SSL):

however on windows live mail i keep receiving same emails going back several
days. error message from live mail reads:

Is that a paid Yahoo account?
Right-click on your error message, copy, then paste it into a reply here.
We can't do much troubleshooting without the complete error message.

to begin with i could not receive emails to windows mail but i managed to
view them via yahoo. got error code 0x800CC0F. i looked up possible problems
and downloaded live mail. now the opposite is happening and i keep receiving
the same emails over and over again. error code now is 0x800CCC19. i have avg
antivirus and have turned off email scanner without any effect. is this an
issue with the server? can i do anything else to stop these emails?
any advice greatly appreciated
