Using Outlook Express 6.0 and Yahoo mail.
Starting yesterday, email to myself goes into my Yahoo mail account, but 
when I download it, it shows up in my Deleted folder instead of my Inbox. 
Yes, only email from myself. 
No, I don't have any Rules at all. 
Any ideas?
Thanks.

And would that be for IMAP access to your Yahoo mailbox?  If so, and since
the e-mail client is synchronizing its folders to the content in the
server-side folders, then perhaps the problem is filtering on the server
that detects e-mails that are sent to you also came from you and are
filtering them out (as suspect spam e-mails).

Send yourself a test e-mail.  You are sending from yourself and to yourself.
Then unload your e-mail client.  Now use the webmail interface to your
mailbox (up on the server).  Did the test e-mail end up in the Inbox folder
or in the Deleted folder?  If it is in the Deleted folder then your e-mail
client has nothing to do with it going there (because it wasn't even
running).

If the test e-mail shows up in the Deleted folder in the webmail interface
to your mailbox, see what happens when you put yourself in a safe sender or
whitelist filter defined up on the server.  I don't remember if Yahoo Mail
includes a Safe Senders whitelist.  Maybe it instead relies on entries in
your Contacts, so add yourself there.

Do you often send e-mails to yourself?  Spammers will often specify the From
header is the same as the recipient's e-mail address knowing that most users
don't filter out themselves.  However, many e-mail providers realize that
most "from me = to me" e-mails are spam.
