Chris, I normally concur with all your posts but this time I have to say that Yahoo is my main email account and so that most of my mail is received via the Yahoo Webmail. extension. My account re-check time in Thunderbird is 10 minutes but I stand by the information I gave above ... I simply do not now and nor have I ever seen this kind of slow down with Thunderbird and the Webmail add-ons. The Hotmail extension (without good old WebDav is certainly slower for large attachments. However, I do not get many large attachments with Yahoo and regular emails present no slow down issues for me.
