This probably doesn't solve your problem, but, for the last week I have 
been having increasingly frustrating problems with Yahoo account and 
submissions to SC through it i.e. being cut of by Yahoo server 
intentionally terminating connection when number of submissions reach 
around 20 in a short time.  I have now given up with the Yahoo account and 
trying Googlemail, but, mail returns from SC are so slow at the moment I 
can't give it a fair trial.
