Yahoo mail, iphone and home pc

CJSIMPSON · 07-05-2009, 7:54 AM

I signed up to a Yahoo mail account late last night as I found out it offers free push email.

I set it up and it seems to be working although I havent had much time to test it.

My question is now, can I set this account up on my home pc as well to access via outlook 2007? and also will it act like an imap account where changes on one show on the other? I assume it does but wanted to make sure seen as though it is web based.

Yes works the same on both phone and pc

will any changes made on email accessed through my pc be reflected on the iphone too, as they do using imap on sky email at the moment?

I have just tried this and I cant seem to access my emails on my pc at all.

I am looking into trying to get an email service that will push to the iphone but also has imap or something similar in that any changes made on one device will be reflected on the other. I know there is mobile me but im not paying that sort of money for it. I dont necessarily need calendar syncing or contacts although it would be nice its mainly the email at the moment.

Can anyone suggect anything?

I currently have a sky email address which I believe is powered by google anyway as the whole set up is the same. But last night and today I have regsitered for a googlemail account and a yahoo account to test if needed.
