Downloading e-mail to an e-mail client using POP is timing out more often than not.
I really hope that the theories as to the problems with Yahoo! mail in general are correct, because if the POP-specific problems of a year or so were to recur I would have to slash my wrists. As some may remember, BT washed its hands of this problem, claiming that e-mail was a value-added service, though IMHO neglecting to note that the @btinternet.com domain name undermines this claim.
Another theory: 'they' have done the patch, and as a result everything is running at a third of normal speed and will contune to do so until the end of time!
I suppose one shouldn't speculate for fear of provoking hysteria, but BT, Yahoo! and the rest of the tech companies are always very reluctant to explain any problems to their long-suffering user bases.
