is it possible for mail (inbox & sent msgs) to sync between remote and my yahoo mail on outlook/desktop?

I have to delete and file messages twice: remote access of yahoo and then on outlook (I have mail plus) on my desktop. And if I send an email remotely/laptop, I can't see it is I'm using my desktop/outlook and v/v. Is it possible for a complete sync???

    It sounds like what you really want to be connecting to Yahoo Mail with is our IMAP service, not our POP service. For more on the difference between POP and IMAP and how you can use each with Yahoo Mail, please have a look at the Yahoo! Help article "Differences between POP and IMAP", available at:

    I hope this has helped you!

    Thank you, Darcy! I finally did it but just realized that it's not mirroring my accounts. I see emails on remote site inbox and don't see it in outlook, in fact some have disappeared. I just tried to resend emails to see if they would sync with outlook and they don't. Is this normal???
