Okay - this is an RTFM moment.

Check the logs.

Specifically, check

/var/log/maillog
/var/log/qmail/qmail-pop3d/current
/var/log/qmail/qmail-smtpd/current

Then, check your process list (ps -auwfx ) and see what might be errored.

It sounds like your machine is taking the email, but then holding it in queue - the process that stuffs it into a directory isn't finishing the job.

Read your logs to see what your server is saying to Yahoo.

/var/log/maillog
/var/log/qmail/qmail-smtpd/current
