If it is occurring every eight minutes, it coincides with the full 
refresh cycle.  There is still room for tuning there, but you can reduce 
the frequency by changing the JS.   The interval is controlled by the if 
statement in yahootoolbar.prototype.refreshAlert() function in 
yahootoolbarOverlay.js:

    if (this.refreshcnt-- == 0)    //Time for a full refresh
    {
        this.dynOpen();
        this.refreshcnt = 8;

This function is invoked every minute, but only fetches the alert feed 
(new mail notify).  When the refreshcnt reaches zero, the full feed is 
retrieved.   Change the assignment (e.g. 'this.refreshcnt = 20;') to 
change the full refresh interval.   If you remove the decrement operator 
from the test (i.e. 'if (this.refreshcnt ==0)' , the full refresh will 
only occur when you logon to Yahoo!, when you request a refresh, or when 
you add a bookmark.

I hope that helps.
