The iPhone will go onto the network every 15, 30, or 60 minutes to get
new data. Then watch your battery drain. But it works with GMail.archived from misc.phone.mobile.iphone

some battery power on it.--

far at the iPhone mail is concerned. Both are trivial to
set up and look the same from the iPhone.Yahoo has "data push", which will automatically
push new mail to the phone. Gmail will fetch it at
intervals based on your settings.A Google account can be integrated into more other
services (calendar, Picasa, groups, checkout,etc),
on and off the iPhone.-jc

can get, hands down!It works perfectly with the iPhone. I have fifteen separate Gmail
accounts in addition to the normal variety from other services many
use. I also have AT&T and Charter email accounts which I simply would
never use on the iPhone.Each Gmail account allows you at least 7GB of online storage, you do
the math for 15.Gmail works across all platforms.
Gmail IDs work as Open Ids on the INTERNET now.
Gmail allows almost no SPAM to pass to you.
Gmail checks all attachments for Viruses and such before allowing you
to download them. This is nice if you are using a Mac or an iPhone
which is unaffected by that windows crap. You will not innocently pass
an infection on to a Microsoft windows platform which you can't get
yourself and would probably never even notice.etc etc

a Yahoo account can serve as an Open Id.I obviously do not like Yahoo as much as Google but Yahoo hase a few
nice features some may like. You will find most of the better old
Yahoo Groups have moved to Google Groups by now.Google generally does everything better. They now have instant real
time push for RSS and Atom feeds if you can monitor using those. Look
on YouTube for demonstration posted last week - Google it ;>)archived from misc.phone.mobile.iphone
