I'm afraid you'll find the answer here:

For push mail, for "Internet Mail" (IMAP) accounts, Aqua Mail uses the industry standard, well documented, widely supported "IDLE" extension.

It is supported / used by: Gmail, AOL, Hotmail, Yandex, GMX, Fastmail, Web.de services and others, and also servers like Dovecot, Courier, Cyrus and others.

Yahoo however chose to not implement it. I believe they have their own mechanism for push mail which they'd worked out with Apple and which is undocumented.

OK thank you very much, Yahoo is a private individual. I'm gonna go online and see how to do it. Excellent end of the day
