1396335 2015-03-17 20:47:00 There are no duplicates.

Yahoo Webmail reports 100,000+ emails in Inbox.
Windows Live Mail with IMAP reports ~83,000 in Inbox.
Windows Live mail with POP3 reports it is going to download the same number of emails from the Inbox as what Yahoo Webmail says is in there.

I have not used this account with a client before, only just added these two accounts to WLM the other day.


I had tried Thunderbird to begin with, I was annoyed by the severe lack of feedback regarding operational status - nothing more than a message in the status bar saying "downloading emails"

Would be nice if it told me how many, from where, etc etc.

1396336 2015-03-18 00:28:00 Is it possible either yahoo or WLM is applying a spam filter to the inbox via IMAP? dugimodo (138)
1396337 2015-03-18 02:11:00 I turned the antispam options in WLM off before I started. Yahoo has anti-spam turned on, which puts spam emails in the spam folder. The spam folder shows up in WLM and any spam which turns up is displayed accordingly and correctly. Agent_24 (57)
