Deleting an Email Account

I'm using WLM (Vista Home Premium). The last two days one of my POP3 email
accounts has stopped sending emails. It receives fine, and my other email
accounts send and receive. I can't find a solution, so I'm thinking I should
try deleting the problem email account and try setting it up again. If I do
this will WLM delete all my existing emails that are in the Inbox for that
account?

Deleting the account will delete all folders associated with that
account, so you may want to move the mail in those account folders
to storage folders.

Hold off until we have a chance to analyze your error message.

I deleted my Yahoo pop account and all of my messages disappeared...is there
any way of getting them back? OE just deleted the account settings not
everything associated with the mail account.

If you meant WLM, yes, deleting an account will delete all local folders
and emails associated with that account, which is why it gives you a
warning about that. If you had your email program configured to delete
emails from the server after downloading, then they are gone for good.

If OE is still available, you may be able to import the dbx file to the point in time the Yahoo.dbx file was last saved in OE.
I've not tried this for quite some time(beta)...thus ymmv.

Create the account in WLM(Tools/Accounts\Add
Copy the Yahoo.dbx file to a jump drive or a separate folder on the hard drive.
File/Import/Messages/Outlook Express
Browse to the location of Yahoo.dbx file

As mentioned, ymmv...Alos, the imported messages may reside in a subfolder in the storage folders. If so drag to the Yahoo account.

As a last resort if the above does not work and the messages are still available in OE, drag them to a Windows Explorer folder.
They will be saved as eml files. Then drag into the newly created Yahoo folders. Note: This route does have its disadvantages(to,
from, date stamp), but it will make them available in WLM.
