Disappearing e-mails?

Only had the experience not recieving them when someone has said they sent one too me and visa viera sometimes.

Some hacker might have got hold of you e-mail account details its possible!

If Yahoo! is set up as an Exchange Server (I don't know if it is or not) you can recall and delete sent emails.

Something similar happened to me when someone deleted their account- I could see the emails but couldn't open them. I'm not sure why you can't even see them though. Love your work by the way ;)

It is more than likely a hacker, if I were you I would change pass word
or get new email account asp. Hacker got into my email and suddenly I start to see stuff on forums in my real name that I didnt post and they used the account to do vast amounts of spam. All of this I found out from the in coming emails - it was a shock a day.
