I would recommend to use IMAP instead of pop3. It is much more robust in general. GMail allows it. Last time I checked Yahoo was not offerring imap3 for free accounts. And in general, Yahoo appears to be more problematic than they used to be (still better than hotmail).

Set up a GMail account for just the PDML , set up the preferences in Gmail to use the Pop server. Get a decent email agent, (I like Firefox because)follow the handy dandy Firefox system to automatically set up Firefox to use the GMail pop server. Forget you're using Gmail and let Firefox do the rest. Tell Yahoo to go pound sand. Life is good.
