yahoo mail inbox message problem in OS X mail

OS X Mail doesn't receive mail from yahoo anymore. I can send mail, see other folders with same account. When I get account info with ctrl+click yahoo inbox, all of the folders have some megabytes, but inbox has 0 bytes altough there are many unread mail in yahoo inbox.

Have exactly the same issue for the last 4 days or so. One day suddenly filled inbox again then stops mid afternoon, deleted account then added back new now nothing in in box and has been like this 2 days despite leaving mail running all night. Is there a good alternative mail program that works on OS X but is better than Apple Mail? Seems to have issues all the time... :-(

Tell me about it right! I have the same exact problem. Two days ago my Yahoo mail on the Mail app started acting funny and now it's completely faulty. At first I checked Connection Doctor and the Yahoo Mail server was red, so I decided to delete the account and add it again. The Connection Doctor for Yahoo Mail is now green and says it connects to the server. However, everything BUT the inbox is fulled with mail. What's even more strange is that mail is received on my iPhone with the same account no problem.

This has been frustrating to me as well. I went through a complete reinstall and did not solve the problem. I realize my apple ID and Yahoo e-mail address are the same. Could this be the problem? It used to work perfectly fine until sometime in December. Now it's completely broken. It will not pull any messages from the INBOX but seems to be pulling content from other folders. Apple or Yahoo! help! help! help!
