Yahoo Mail - We didn't understand your request

When I try to view some of my older messgaes (January and before) I get a "We didn't understand your request" error so I can't see some of my emails no matter how many times I try.

I've tried clearing cookies and temp files, trying on another machine, trying on a completely different network, nothing works.

Can anyone help?

(Please don't say "Try Gmail. It's much better" cos I need to see these old emails).
