Hi SPACECADET361, Have you tried deleting the message that keeps downloading, from the yahoo web mail interface? The rest of the emails should download once you remove the problematic one. Hope this helps, Norio

Thanks for your response-That was the first thing I tried and it did not help. Today the problem seemed to resolve itself and the only thing that appeared to happen was that Google updated Chrome and fixed a number of bugs. So maybe that was the problem.
