Verizon's e-mail, as well as AOL's, are now hosted at Yahoo.
In order to retrieve IMAP mail from them within reasonable duration
since IMAP PUSH isn't supported, I have to set the e-mail client
(especially on the phone) to poll the server every x number of minutes.
You might want to consider giving IMAP a try, it might be more
reliable than what you're experiencing with the POP service.
Why can I log into my Verizon and AOL email accounts on the web from the
AOL site, but not Yahoo?

Yes, they migrated the Verizon mail over to AOL Mail. Then when Verizon
bought Yahoo afterwards, everything moved over to Yahoo.
When AOL Mail was independent under AOL, IMAP PUSH worked perfectly.
As to why you can login via AOL but not Yahoo, my first guess would be
that AOL and Yahoo have separate authentication servers on the web side.
