.I have several accounts with SKY, and more with BT. One of my SKY accounts has just stopped working - it still occasionally shows an Inbox - but will not load any messages into it. On the bottom right of my screen a message displays for a few seconds "The current operation on inbox did not succeed. The mail server for account bob.brown65@SKY.COM responded: [CLIENTBUG] SELECT. Command not valid in this state" The three other SKY accounts are still working ! Any ideas ?

There is no solution for this, unless Yahoo are fixing their server. You'll have to complain to Sky/Yahoo.

It will eventually start working again in a couple of days. Use webmail in the mean time.
