Using A1200 mail client for yahoo mail

[drdigital1]

I set up the A1200 mail client for both yahoo and gmail. gmail is working very smooth. I used a setting recommended on gmail.com for iphone i.e., "In the User Name field, enter 'recent:' followed by your full username" and this puts in the A1200 inbox only the recent (last 30 days) mail.
The yahoo mail is unusable for me because I have A LOT of mail in my inbox and the A1200 client wants to load it ALL, starting with the OLDEST. Is there a way to limit the yahoo A1200 inbox sync to the last 3 (or 30) days?

can you create a saved folder in yahoo mail? if so move the old mail you want to keep there and only keep the mail you want to sync in your inbox.

Archiving old mail in yahoo will address the issue but it is a REALLY ugly solution because it forces me to manage my yahoo mail as if it's cell phone based not desktop/web based i.e., if I want to keep on A1200 10 days of yahoo mail I would need to archive mail on a DAILY basis so I have only 10 days of mail in the yahoo inbox. I have not seen any mail client with such a glaring flaw.
