It takes around 5 minutes for my system to actually make a connection to
Yahoo using fetchyahoo.pl and I pull email from 2 different folders.
fetchyahoo.pl blocks Kmail from checking other accounts until it is
finished and with my Yahoo account being low traffic it is not worth the
time to create a wrapper script to run every 9 minutes to maybe download
e-mails from two folders that will take a minimum of 10 minutes. Phew!
