Yahoo email doesn't work properly. "unable to load your messages" & "external account is busy."
The problem started a couple of months ago. I continuously get the error messages "unable to load your messages" and "external account is busy." Sometimes both pop up at the same time. After the messages occur when I try to delete emails it won't let me. Then I have to close out Yahoo email, open it again and I can then delete emails. Then the messages and routine starts again.
