In order to get the most flexibility out of my Blackberry, I’ve decided to move my mail over to Yahoo.com since they are currently the only non-corporate email system that works in flawless two-way synchronization with the Blackberry.
So my personal account is on Yahoo while my Web account is still on the server. This way I can test both and see which I like more. If I stick with Yahoo, I’ll pay the $20/yr for Yahoo! Plus Mail to remove the ads from outgoing email and all that. Until then, you’ll have to ignore the taglines at the bottom of my personal emails.
If Yahoo! Plus Mail just included IMAP service as well, it’d be a no-brainer. Silly Yahoo, POP is for kids.
What sucks even more is that Yahoo can do IMAP. They do it for the special iPhone service. But the iPhone has some magic in it that figures out the right user name to use over IMAP, and that magic has not been made known to me.
So send lots of email to my personal account (daniel AT inklog DOT net) and my web account (jim AT revjim DOT net) so that I can really play with it.
