If your Yahoo account only gets 1/2 emails a day, is it really necessary to check it every 3 minutes? Just a thought, but I it does appear from other threads that converting mails on a Yahoo web page into POP format before presenting them to Thunderbird is a task that can cause the extension to use a lot of processor cycles. If another round of processing is started before the previous round has finished, this would certainly slow things down. Would the extension be working hard if there are no emails to download? I don't know, but it wouldn't hurt to try a longer mail checking cycle.
