Sorry to say, but due to my experiences I can't recommend Yahoo mail at all.
I've been testing reliability since purchasing my iphone on the original sales day. Needless to say both sending and receiving mail has been extremely inconsistent from the day I set it up until I finally gave up about 3 weeks ago. There seemed to be no rhyme or reason to its madness. Both sending and receiving e-mails could be anywhere from instant to upto 24 hours before. It bothered me a little, but not enough to make me switch. Finally in early December, it 'lost' a couple of fairly important emails I wanted to send. That was the last straw.
I switched to the Gmail and it works as I would expect. Mails are sent and received in a timely fashion. I have it set to check every hour. As I would expect, the mail will show a little '1' when an email is received, which I could never get the yahoo to ever do without actually going into the email.
Conclusion ditch yahoo and their crappy service. Yes, I do believe this has more to do with problems with yahoo. Even accessing through the web I had problems sending and receiving mails in a timely fashion.
