I use fetchyahoo through KMail.  KMail is set up to run fetchyahoo.pl as a 
pre-command for a Local Account located at 
/var/mail/{USERNAME}-yahoo-inbox.

fetchyahoo.pl downloads e-mails to /var/mail/{USERNAME}-yahoo-inbox and, 
once done, KMail picks them up from the mail spool file.  I just wouldn't 
set up KMail to do interval checking for this Local Account because 
fetchyahoo.pl returns error codes when no mail is available for download 
and KMail displays notices for the error codes then waits for you to hit OK 
before it continues with the next operation.

then why not wrap a script around fetchyahoo.pl that always returns OK?
