PDA with Yahoo mail

If I understand correctly, the new Blackberry 7130 requires that I actually go out to the yahoo mail website to get my email.

I had a treo for a little bit but got rid of it because I only had the choice of either logging into the website to check it or using versamail, which pulled down all of the thousands of emails in my mailbox.

I have multiple email accounts through yahoo and I'd like to have a device that goes out and checks all of them and notifies me if I have new email in one of them.

Do I have any options as far as phones that can do this or am I going to have to browse out to the website to do it?

i believe if you pay yahoo $20.00 a year or month (a year more so) they allow you to access your mail via pop3 and imap-4. which then you should be allowed to sync to blackberry push.

i have multiple email accounts sync'd to all of my phones they only one i have not done yet is my yahoo account because i get to many replies on here at phonescoop ๐Ÿ‘€ . just kiddin. i think the sony ericssons both z520, w600i or if you can still find one a s710a (cingular branded) as well at the nokia symbian phones (6682) are the best phones besides a blackberry to do email sync on

j/k ๐Ÿ˜Ž

if at sometime i do decided to pay the yearly fee then i'll make sure to look up your username and let you know how it works.

Yes you can, but if you have the 6682 you should be using Yahoo Go!. Its the most awesome program for the 6682 and you dont need to pay for it or pay the premium price to yahoo either.

Thanks for your help, guys. Have they fixed the download problem with the treos that would send all of the thousands of emails to my phone through Versamail?

I'm trying to decide whether I should just get another treo or if the 7130 is really a better product.

I don't have a problem paying 20 bucks a year to yahoo to have pop3 capability, but I don't want to do a autosync with the treo versamail and have it try to pull down hundreds of emails each time... it seems kind of silly to have to forward yahoo to gmail in order to prevent this.. ugh.

In an ideal situation, I could set up mail delivery for multiple yahoo accounts and have it auto-delivered to my phone and kept on the server without it delivering all of the email since I'v...

as much as i hate blackberry's i say do the 7130 ๐Ÿคญ

i think the treo is a better device all around. but the 7130 is better for your needs.

as far as the problem with the treo i heard they fixed it but i havent put that to te test yet.

Last question, I promise.

Does the Blackberry personal plan include web browsing or would that be charged by the minute? I don't want to set up corporate Blackberry email, just personal.

Thanks. ๐Ÿ™‚ F

your gonna have to get the blackberry data plan unlimited is what i'd preferr. and use the BIS server which is personal and not the BES server which is business.

I've made my decision--I think.

I visited a retail store yesterday and was really impressed by the 7130C. Web browsing blows my wife's treo out of the water...

The only outstanding issue in my mind is whether I want to get the 8700 for the larger screen and non-sure type. Coming from a razr where I had to switch back and forth between predictive text and not, I'm thinking that the 7130 is the way to go.

The only other thing is that when I compare the two side by side on phonescoop, the 7130 has half the standby life that the 8700 has...

i like the 7130's feel but the 8700's shape is something we are all used to in blackberry's.

for some reason iv'e heard people say though the sure type keyboard is faster to type with. ๐Ÿคจ

You can have your device check your yahoo mail for you, but it would require you to subscribe to yahoo (latest price I'm aware of is 19.99) If you use the free email account with Yahoo, you have to check it manually.
