> On my computer I go to Yahoo webmail which is a login using email address and password. I use that at home. At work I use that means also, and on my iPad and iPhone, the apps use it as IMAP, in that everything I do on my Apple devices is mirrored on Yahoo webmail.
So -- except on the iDevices -- you do not even use a mail program, you simply go to the website with a web browser to read the mail ON the site.
Correct.
Why have you chosen this method (or rather, these different methods)?
I chose this as it is faultfree. I can use email anywhere on any internet connected device, mine or others, such as internet cafe, other computers. I can use it at Timbuktu even if I had none of my devices. All my email is everywhere. I guess you could look at Yahoo webmail as Yahoo cloud mail
> For me, a good solutioon as I have all my email everywhere, on everything.
As you would using a mail application on each device, set up with IMAP.
Correct. The mail app on my devices is using the built in Yahoo option, and on iOS devices it uses IMAP, no need to setup IMAP settings, its built in. Its probbaly not true IMAP as its connecting to Yahoo, but it acts exactly like IMAP, and no configuring required.
> This includes contacts, folders etc.
My contacts, mail folders, and mail messages are all duplicated on my Mac, my iPhone, and my iPad, using iCloud and IMAP, and on each device are read using Apple's supplied mail application.
Exactly the same for me, except I use the Yahoo option, not the Cloud option.I dont use an Apple application on my laptop, I open webmail, no need to login, its automatic unless I am on a non Tony computer
> Yahoo webmail has filter settings, as well as the usual webmail interface settings. These only exist on the computer...
These all only exist on the SERVER. Not on YOUR computer, not if you are reading using webmail.
Technically exactly right, but to access settings I need to be at the full Yahoo webmail, not the iOS app. I do this on my computer, or I could login to anyone elses and do that too, or I could login using Safari on my iOS devices
At the end of the day, my email is everywhere using Yahoo, yours is everywhere using iCloud
