Verizon 6.5 and Yahoo mail - Phone practically bricked

Ok,
so I've done my research beforehand, but if I missed something I apologize. Heres the deal:

I upgraded to the stock 6.5 rom from Verizon. I had previously had 2 e-mail accounts 1 from an Exchange server, the other from Yahoo. The exchange e-mail is fine, however, the Yahoo is screwed up. It is set to download the entire message, sans any attachments, for the previous 3 days. After about 3-4 days of use, the phone decided to download all of the messages in the Yahoo mail account, approx 22000 of them. The phone gets all kinds of hot, freezes up, and requires a battery pull to unlock it. So when I try to boot back up, it takes ages for Sense to come up, and when it does, I can't get it to leave the home screen, the clock is frozen, and the phone is 100% non-functional...call/messages do not make it in.

I did a hard reset on the phone a few days ago which cleared up the issues, but now, 4 days later, it's happened again.

Verizon said its the Yahoo mailbox, and I need to delete messages. HTC told me to piss off, so now it looks like I am about to hard reset the phone again much to my dismay. The next step is to call the company who released the update, but I'm sure they are going to tell me the same thing. At this point, I am out of ideas, so any you have would be most appriciated.
