I haven't found any service which doesn't have some problem or other.  
Believe me, I wouldn't use it purely by choice.  This is an account from 
my alumni association, so it's a free educational account, and I like 
having the address associated with my university.  Yahoo doesn't have 
this problem, but it has plenty of others, and getting actual help is 
equally impossible.

What I'd really like is to allow even spam to be downloaded by pop3.  
Then I could completely ignore the server's opinion. Recently, Yahoo has 
been filtering a lot of stuff into the Bulk Mail filter, but I have no 
idea why they do that instead of spam, which all of it is.
