I keep getting the following error message every time that I try to read (open) an email in my yahoo account:
Error: the server didn't return any data for the contents of this message
When I switch to the classic version of yahoo email, some times I can read them but most of the time I just get a blank page with no error message. I can only read my emails if I forward them to a different email account.
I have been having the same problem for a few weeks now. It's getting very frustrating not being able to open my emails. I have been having the same problem for a few weeks now. It's getting very frustrating not being able to open my emails.

404 Not Found Error Emails
The 404 not found error notice is something webmasters hate. But the
fact is broken HTML and image links do occur. Here is how to get
real-time email notices when they do occur.
Yes, I know log files give details of errors. But how often do you
check your log files? Unless you examine them every day, it could be
weeks even months before you discover the 404 not found errors. By then
hundreds, even thousands of visitors may have left your site never to
return, nevermind the lost advertising revenue or sales, because they
ended up on a 404 not found error page. 196 404 Not Found Error Messages
Recently I encountered this problem when I made some changes to an
existing website. I set up a 404 not found error email notification
system, and immediately my mailbox was flooded with reports of broken
links, search engine bots trying to crawl old nonexistent files, broken
image links and missing favicon images.
I was shocked just how many error messages I received - 196 404 not
found error messages in 24 hours. It even caught an issue with one of my
affiliate campaigns. If I didn't catch that, my AdWords campaign would
have sent traffic to a non-existent URL. It could have ended up costing
me thousands of dollars in wasted advertising and lost sales. How to Set Up Your Own 404 Not Found Error Email System
If you want to take a proactive approach and get real-time notices of
404 not found error messages as they happen, then you should set up
your own real-time 404 not found error email notification system.
Here's how I did it: By the way, your server must have PHP enabled
otherwise this method doesn't work. Ask your server administrator
whether your server is PHP enabled and if it isn't, then ask them to
enable it.
Also remember to backup any files you intend to edit. If something goes wrong, you can always revert back to the previous file.
The system uses two files; the .htaccess file which tells the server
where to send users when there is an error, and the 404 not found error
file which sends the 404 not found error email notices to you.
It seems that yahoo has been upgrading their servers and in the process many people are getting the same error as you. In the mean time you can use the following link to access your email: US: http://us.m.yahoo.com/p/mail
It should work with that link assuming you have a us yahoo account.
This shouldn't happen all the time, but it will happen from time to time when the server at Yahoo is just busy fetching data for you. Closing your Yahoo email program and restarting will generally cure that problem. If you are getting this message generally more than once per day, there is an issue with your email program communicating with the server at Yahoo and you should call or email Yahoo support if you can access your email. Since Yahoo doesn't store data locally on your Hard Drive, but on Yahoo servers, you must take up the issue with Yahoo support services.

This seems to be the latest glitch. There are hundreds asking this. It
may well be a server down somewhere. Try again later seems to be the
best advice.
Technical details of permanent failure: Google tried to deliver your message, but it was rejected by the recipient domain. We recommend contacting the other email provider for further information about the cause of this error. The error that the other server returned was: 554 554 delivery error: dd This message is looping: it already has my X-Yahoo-Forwarded line. (#5.4.6) - mta1023.mail.sp2.yahoo.com (state 18). --
Error 999 is a sign that Yahoo's defense is in effect.
"This error appears to be caused by some sort of bandwidth limiting
system that Yahoo has put in place on their servers. Once you have
exceeded your allotted bandwidth for a specific period of time Yahoo
gives you this Error 999 message and doesn't allow you to access the
service."
