Default delays in receiving pop3 emails sent by MSN accts to any Yahoo acc

I've noticed that any emails sent by my MSN POP3 account to any Yahoo email
address ([e.g. ], including those who are POP3 account at
yahoo) takes a long time to arrive ranging from 30 minutes to several hours,
sometimes a day or two later.

This is also true for any emails sent by other MSN pop3 accounts (other than
my msn account) to any yahoo email accounts, who similarly take a long to
arrrive
at the ' email address recipient.

There seems to be issues between emails sent and received between MSN and
Yahoo email addresses.

I've had the new pop3 settings since the end of January (i.e. I'm using
pop3.live.com and smtp.live.com in Outlook Express 6), as per 'PA Bear' has
kindly outlined instructions in previous postings.

1) Has anyone has similar delay issues with sending email from MSN POP3
accounts to Yahoo accounts
(big delays) or conversely receining emails from yahoo to msn (also big
delays)?

2) Has it been reported?

3) Are these delay problems b/c of capacity contraints that might now exist
on the live.com servers that may not have existed on the
pop3/smtp.email.msn.com servers?

Thanks very much for your assistance!

P.S. Using XP Pro SP2, IE6 SP2, OE6
