Try the Yahoo Quick Mail Fix: https://help.yahoo.com/kb/mail-for-desktop/introdu... I had same problem; other email services worked find and email on my iPhone worked fine. But the Mail application on my Mac would not show incoming email even though sending email via Yahoo worked and all indications in the Connection Doctor were that this application and the Yahoo server were communicating OK. Clicking the Yahoo Quick Mail Fix 20 mins ago led to a lot of activity and then the emails since then showed up as normal. The emails from the missing period -- about 20 hours -- did not show up however, so I will have to go onto the Yahoo Mail page directly in my browser and forward the ones (just a few) that I want.

I also cannot receive yahoo email in the Mail program on my MacBook Pro OS 10.9.4
This has been happening for 24 hours now. I deleted the account on my mac, rebuilt the inbox and I am still not getting my yahoo mail.
Gmail works fine, comcast works fine, iCloud works fine, and my personal website email account works fine.
So it's obviously a Yahoo problem. Please fix this yahoo... and soon! This is really really bad as 90% of my mail comes through yahoo.... I'm thinking I may need to change tho because apparently people have been having this issue for over a month already and that's way too long to resolve professional problems. :-/

Hi,
I have had no end of problems & not being able to receive emails via Mail app on my Macbook. I have emailed Yahoo to NO avail! E-mailed Apple - who have spent hours with me to get it to a certain stage - yet still no luck. The conclusion was that it is indeed to do with Yahoo servers & they know about it. I ipad has had the same problem. This has being going on for too long & I am sick of it - it IS Yahoo with the problem - FIX IT YAHOO - and QUICKLY! My MAc is still out of action - as cannot get incoming e-mail from Yahoo.
Explain yourselves Yahoo?

None. Just won't get incoming messages...IMAP problem? Anyone know how to contact them regarding this? Connection Doctor on Mac shows all green lights, so its logging into Yahoo, even sent messages make it back, just not incoming messages.
