Many email providers now equip customer accounts with something like a 'spam filter.' When you receive an email from a previously unknown address... That unrecognized email will be sent to something like a 'junk folder' instead of appearing in your inbox. Try checking your junk folder (probably located on a menu to the left of the screen.) Once inside, if you find the email from your husband, open the email. Some accounts are equipped with pop-ups that will automatically ask you if the email is junk, while others don't. If your yahoo account doesn't, there should be an button that you can press toward the top or bottom of your junk box that will allow you to mark your husband's emails as content approved for your inbox. Afterwards, have your husband send you another email and see if it pops up in your inbox.

If that doesn't work and you can't find a solution on this site... There should be some way to contact Yahoo technical support. Most likely you should be able to find this information on the main page or even inside your email account.

There are a couple possible problems that come to mind:
1) Your inbox may need refreshing. Sometimes your computer stores web pages in a cache. Try pressing F5 or your refresh button. Hopefully new messages will appear.
2) A filter could be directing your mail into a different folder. Click options >> mail options >> filters. You might see some emails there.
3) You could be mistyping your email address when giving it out / when you sent something to yourself. I think this is the least probable, but it could happen.
I hope one of these three solves your problem! If not, you could contact yahoo customer care and mention that you've tried these three possible solutions.
