Keeping Outlook & Yahoo 'Sent' folders in sync

[livetohike]

Is the following possible when using POP (Yahoo) and Outlook 2000?

1) Have mail sent from Yahoo web mail automatically show up in
Outlook's Sent folder.


2) Have mail sent from Outlook automatically show up in Yahoo web mail
Sent folder.


In other words: If configured to 'leave copy on server' POP does a
great job of keeping the Inbox of both Outlook and the Web mail client
(e.g. yahoo) in perfect sync. Can the same be set up for outgoing
email such that regardless of where the email is actually sent from, a
copy will exist in both sent folders?.

Thanks

No, the POP3 protocol doesn't offer a 2-way sync nor does it offer to
download anything other than your Inbox folder. To get a 2-way sync you'll
need to use the IMAP, Exchange or HTTP (Live Hotmail) mail protocol.

Thanks. Of course now I have more questions.

I assume by HTTP, you mean something like YPOPS for Yahoo (When this
works it is great, but it is inconsistent so I subscribed to Yahoo
Plus (to get POP) thinking that would solve my problem.

Is IMAP available via Yahoo?
Does Outlook support IMAP protocol or do I need more software?
Exchange - Do you mean the Outlook exchange server? That would be
more of a corporate solution, not something for home use, right?

Thanks, I appreciate the help
