Do you get disconnected using Yahoo Mail on E71?

Are you experiencing the same dilemma as I have with my Yahoo Mail?

My Yahoo Mail is setup in the default (native) email client since it's the only client that allows me to enter a different "REPLY-TO" address for office emails that get redirected to it. This way when people respond to my emails they respond to my office email address and not Yahoo Mail, and they go back to our mail server and then to my phone, and the thread is documented in my Outlook. And I can setup a filter in Yahoo Mail so I can block certain annoying senders from even reaching my phone. But even if I'm careful not to select exit and just press the homescreen shortcut, after about 5-10 minutes, I loose connection and have to connect Yahoo Mail again. I don't want to set it up to "pull" at selected intervals, I want it push so I had the Email Notifications on auto-update.

I tried setting up my office email directly on the E71 but the activesync will not work on our server, plus neither the native nor the Nokia Messaging client allows filtering for exchange emails to allow you to block annoying co-workers or server/ERPsystem-generated messages sent to my email account.

My personal one, Google Mail, is setup in the Nokia Messaging client. I had that in the native client before, along with Yahoo and GMail is always connected. Only the Yahoo gets disconnected always. I don't want to use Gmail for my work emails, would you on your personal email? I don't think so.

Is this how Yahoo Mail operates in the E71?

Thanks a lot.
