Having worked a few queues in my time, it makes me wonder how they 
resolve errors.  Do they actually resolve the error(s) and re-queue the 
messages or do they simply delete the message(s) in error to allow the 
messages to flow again?  I lost all the emails from the time they 
stopped until they started again.  I suspect the latter.

I've had my yahoo email account since 2013 and this the first time I had 
this issue that I am aware of.  I do recall suspecting I missed 1 or 2 
random messages in the past.  If it happens again I will seriously 
consider switching to another email provider.
