Nothing jumps out as looking wrong. You're getting no transmission or
receptions errors chalked up, neither.
I do not have a cell phone. I'm limited to what's on my
work
station. It's my understanding that free yahoo e-mail is limited to
imap, pop3 cannot be used.
I use POP3 to drag in my yahoo mail, but I'm using:
pop.mail.yahoo.com.au
I use fetchmail to drag all my mail into a local server, then use mail
clients with IMAP to work through the local server.
Later this week, I'll try evolution on the e-mail account that I
use
for computer things, including this list.
Always a good test to try another client.
I watched the KSysGuard graph while downloading a message with a 4
megabyte picture attached. It showed download speeds generally
between 80 and 90 KiB/s (is the 'B' bits or bytes here?).
I would expect so. It's standard practice to use "b" for bits, and
"B" for bytes. You should be able to work out if they're following the
convention by what abbreviations they use elsewhere in the program.
While downloading a big picture from google images, it got up to
almost 4 MB/s. My ISP (comcast) provides peak download speed of
60Mbps.
4 megabytes per second should be 32 megabits per second.
Can you try a speed test from something hosted by your ISP?

Boilerplate: All mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted.
There is no point trying to privately email me, I only get to see
the messages posted to the mailing list.
Well somebody had to eat the last biscuit.
You're just miffed that it wasn't you.
