FWIW, Yahoo mail was a little slow for me but worked. I have had success with them overall.
I switched to Yahoo as my host from an inexpensive provider because of a bad experience I had with shared hosting. I was apparently sharing a server with a very bad spammer, and got my email blocked by Comcast. Not a small part of the market (and owner of my personal email, for that matter).
When I called for help, other provider said they're talking to Comcast but being more or less ignored, and that it was ultimately my problem to get Comcast to let my mail pass.
Uh, no.
Now, if that happens again I have the power of Yahoo to put pressure on Comcast (or whatever) to let my mail pass.
As for a host, I'm disappointed by the lack of tools (latest php, latest mySQL, python, etc), available.
But I've been a desktop app guy, so it hasn't hit me yet. However, my latest market survey is indicating my model may need to change a bit.
