OK, please immediately change your email password XXXXX you haven't already. A good password XXXXX at least one capital letter, one number and one symbol ($, #, etc) and a length of minimum 8-10 characters. Please change your password XXXXX soon as possible.

Also, don't forget to change the security questions/answers and the alternate email (if your email address has one)

Then please try to send an email message to yourself and let me know if you receive it.

Thank you

That's so weird. If you check your email from another browser, like Safari, does it work?

Also make sure you don't have any "filter" that remove, archive or move the incoming emails. To check it, please click "settings", then click "Filters". What do you see under "The following filters are applied to all incoming mail:" ?

Customer replied 752 days ago.

I found it. Somehow all my emails were being sent to another email that was hacked. That one also isn't working. I sent another one to myself and then it work. Grrrr. Stupid wifi spots. I was on vacation and accidently used one and it was all over from there. Now I gotta fix my yahoo account.
