Remember that the current email software can only do POP3 and limited IMAP.
Plus, the Newton is not very good at dealing with proxy servers, which are
needed when you're behind a firewall. I can't read my work email from home
even with my PowerBook, unless I access the company's network with their
Cisco VPN client.
So, the question would be: are you able to access your work's email with
your PowerBook? If so, what are you using? How is it configured? Then, look
on the Newton and see if you can setup the same thing. The same goes for
your Yahoo email account. Although, I don't know at all what you use to read
your Yahoo emails. If it is using cookies and stuff like that, you might not
be able to access your account from your Newton.
