Hey guys it didnt really bother me before but im in college now and im finding the need to save incomplete items as drafts more and more prevalent and aol mail i recently discovered has no folder or even option to save something as a draft. Im going to change mail providers but i thought i heard things about gmail acting weird on the iphone and yahoo not working. I want to switch to gmail preferably, can anyone tell me if these other mails work/not work with the iphone? Thanks alot!
 
ok well since no one answered me i decided to try it myself and it wont even set up..somehting about an ssh server or something like that, what the hell? aol mail works fine, anyone else having this problem or can tell me a solution?
 
I have not tried gmail but I did recently sign up for a new yahoo email account then went onto the iPhone and had no trouble setting it up. Just had to enter the user name and password for the account and thats it.

You have to go into your Gmail account through a regular browser and go to the options and turn ON POP mail.
