My Dad has just bought himself an iPhone 3g :D Good man!!!!

He is coming to visit me this weekend and wants help setting up his email on his iPhone, and also in Mail on his shiny new iMac (git).

He uses the free Talk21 service with an address ****.***@talk21.com, and ideally would have IMAP (I think that's what it's called) synced with Mail and the iPhone. Is this possible? Any settings information?

I use gmail and will strongly recommend that if this is not possible, but obviously it will be better if he doesn't need to change his address.

Any help is much appreciated :D
 
My talk21 is on my iphone, and it works brilliantly with push. You have do it with the yahoo setting on the iphone because talk21 is basically yahoo, so it will work with the yahoo one. its hard to explain, but the menu where set up your email the first time, where it has the different logos, choose the yahoo one then put in your talk21 details.

mines imap aswell
