Thanx, Bob. I was really afraid of what Randy and Mikie were saying. I didn't want to challenge it, but I sure haven't cancelled my DSL yet LOL. I can access my mail through both my ATT/Yahoo home page & mail page and through Yahoo and Yahoo recognizes me, but Yahoo does not control my email account. Not where access is concerned, only the technical aspect. It might stay there forever, but whether I will be able to access it is another question after ATT cuts me off. I really appreciate each of you trying to help. Wish there were some way I could just do a forward in batch, but I guess not. Thanx again.

Very useful links from kbarb. Of note is that it says it's not a true sync but rather just a download from Yahoo to the device (nothing goes in the other direction). If it hasn't happened yet, give it some time, or try rebooting your ipad and starting up the app again. I find that custom-built apps (like the one for Y Mail), whether in IOS or Android flavors, are easier and faster to use with web-based information than using browser access.

Not up on the easy transfer cable, you might want to investigate the transfer speed... but think you will find it slower than a regular network connection ... Inexpensive network switch and a couple of cat5 patch cables maybe lots quicker. Quick look at newegg I saw a network switch for $9.99 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16833166034 Plain old usb wifi network adapters in ad-hoc mode run 11mbs and newegg and others usually have name brand ones for a wireless connection at $20 each. Sometimes close outs for less.

A quick google of "computer help forum" returned 123,000,000 results. "Windows Live Mail Help" returned only 11,900,000 results. I guess that means the Internet is full of "advisors".
