I get this error in Outlook 2003. Anybody else have this happen to them?

Tasks ‘pop.bizmail.yahoo.com – Receive’ reported error (0x80042110) : ‘Your POP3 server is providing inconsistent information. The number of messages returned by the STAT command does not match the number of items returned by the UIDL or LIST commands. Contact your POP3 or Internet service provider.’

Looks like Outlook has lost sync with your Yahoo account.  Adding to what elgrullo420 said,  log into Business Yahoo mail
and create another folder. Move the contents of your Inbox to that folder so that Inbox is empty. Don’t delete the emails as you may need them later. Let Outlook perform a send/receive cycle. This should reset its counters and internal tracking data. Then, on the web
interface, move the messages back to Inbox and let Outlook try to process emails.
