I use a wireless connection and sometimes ypops misses
to download some of email messages and just marks them
as "read" so the next time outlook tries to read even
if my wireless connection doesn't drop any of the
packets ypops still obviously wont be able to get those
messages that were mark "read". This a problem
happening everynow and then and sometimes I miss to
receive some important email so this has forced me to
still login to my yahoo account everyday to make sure I
actually did receive all of my emails for that day in
outlook.

I would think the fix shouldn't too hard to do, all is
needed to to make sure a message is completely
downloaded into the buffer if it's not the ypops needs
to request to yahoo to mark that message as "unread" or
retry downloading it instead of ignoring the messages
which it couldn't download and just kind of opened.
(once a message is opened on yahoo it's marked read for
those who don't know)

Like I said this is not a problem for let's say 95% of
the times but I can't still afford to miss any emails...
