changing the server to att.net allowed me to receive the email since I have an account on att.net... then with no other change switched back to yahoo.com and it works again... guess it was just needing to get out of that "state" that it was in... Hysteria, or confusion... one of those states I think... yes, the suggestion to switch server out (and then I switched it back) did whatever was necessary to fix the state... I had installed the beta too though so maybe working together... (beta 55)
