The IMAP server is refusing to let getmail delete images from the mailbox because the mailbox is read-only. Given that it's Yahoo, it could simply be that Yahoo has screwed something up. Otherwise, check that you still have write access to that mailbox. As another reader suggested, other things, like parallel accesses to the same mailbox, might cause it too.
