Pop Outlook and sync Blackberry from Yahoo
Client uses Yahoo for email...
He can EITHER set up POP3 account in Yahoo and POP to his OUtlook...OR...he can have Yahoo forward email to his BB, but he cannot do both...
We are looking for some type of solution where he can both get his email on his BB and also have it POP into Outlook...
Perhaps having Yahoo forward everything to some third party email host that can provide both services...
Perhaps some software add-on that will somehow "merge" the 2 functions...
Don't know what the solution might be...but our minds are wide open to whatever...
NOTE:...client has a small business running out of his home, no server, no exchange etc...limited budget...
Thanx

Why not have everything come to Outlook and use the Desktop Redirector to send everything to the Handheld.....don't see what the problem is here. Please explain more fully.

Thanx for the response...
I don;t really understand Blackberry's...I think the issue is for the client to recieve email messages while he is away from the office...
Yes, we could sync the Blackberry to Outlook, like a Palm Pilot...but the client would not be able to get his messages in "real time" when he is away from the office...
When Yahoo forwards the messages to the Blackberry, the messages do NOT stay in the Yahoo inbox...therefore there is nothing to POP to OUtlook...
When we set it up to POP to Outlook, then Yahoo cannot forward the messages to BBB...it is either one or the other...
So the issue is, how can we get around this so the client can have his new messages in Outlook and on the BB at the same time when he is NOT in the office...

I have considered IMAP to do this with my Exchange Server - thus leaving email on the server inbox and sent items for thetimes when I am in the office or those "delegates" who help with my mail are working with it. I am still not sure if this works as I have read a number of forum conversations that say they could not get it working. Any comments?
