I have two messages in my Yahoo account that I access via Express. They cannot be retrieved so I would like to delete them so I don't get the message everytime I replicate. Anyone know how to do this?
TIA

login to the Yahoo account online (the web bsaed account) and you should be able to delete the offending message that could not be dowloaded. The go back and continue with OE.
Thats what I did and it worked for me.0
