All the mail stores have been transferred over to yahoo servers in oz (well, probably in oz, dns is a bit hidden ), and mail is now recieved with yahoo's own proprietary server.

I expect that the problems being seen are the fight that you usually have getting windoze to acknowledge any changes. ipconfig /flushdns may help. Steve
