The issue here is that MSN and Yahoo use different account types. The
latter uses a POP account which, by default, removes messages from the
server when they are downloaded. You must configure your account to leave
copies of the mesasges on the server. That setting can be found on the
Advanced tab of the account properties. Exactly how to access that tab,
though, is Outlook version-specific and you elected to keep that information
a secret. You should be able to locate it yourself.
