However I have set the "auto check email" to 15 min, and while I *think* Gmail is doing this, Yahoo! is definitely NOT doing this.
Every time I enter the Yahoo! inbox, the last check would be hours prior (ie. the last time I manually checked). Then when I enter the inbox, it THEN refreshes the mailbox.
Why might I be having this problem? Gmail seems to have refreshed sometime in the last 15 minutes when I load it.
I have looked at Mail settings for the "check email every...." and it seems to be a global setting rather than an inbox specific setting. In any case I can't find this option as it relates specifically to my Yahoo account.
