If there is an accumulation of messages in the Outbox folder, open
the Outbox folder. Move as many of those messages as you can to
the Drafts folder. You can also try dragging them to the Deleted Items
folder. If any message can't be moved or deleted,
try running the various repair functions in the WMUtil program:

If no improvement, upgrade to Windows Live Mail:
http://download.live.com/wlmail
It isn't clear to me what you mean by "I can't get my yahoo.com site to
accept the emails anymore." Do you mean that Yahoo emails
downloaded in Windows Mail are removed from the Yahoo server?
If so, you can change that default in Windows Mail: go to Tools,
Accounts, select your Yahoo mail account, Properties, Advanced,
select "Leave a copy of messages on server."
