Over-the-air sync of Yahoo Business ...

After having my own iPhone for a year and enjoying the "over-the-air" sync of my email/calendar/contact via Exchange, I just bought my wife an iPhone to use with her small business.

I'm trialing MobileMe, which made it a snap to sync her calendar and contact from Outlook 2003 on her laptop. The last "to-do" is to figure out how I can synch her Yahoo Business email with her iPhone for "over the air" updates.

She uses a Yahoo Bizmail pop3 account, and she has her own domain (@ayavastaffing.com). The pop and smtp servers are pop.bizmail.yahoo.com and smpt.bizmail.yahoo.com. The tricky part here is that she uses Outlook 2003 extensively for email, contacts, calendar. Changing that is not an option.

So from what I have read, it looks like she needs an IMAP email account (i.e. MobileMe) to enable "over-the-air" sync of email between her iPhone and PC Outlook client.

Right now I have email send/receive working on the iPhone, but not the synch part. Anyone know if this is possible with our current Yahoo Business email? Looks like Yahoo has enabled push to iPhone, but is that the same as "over-the-air" sync?
