Yahoo Mail and the Ipad. Two very different, but very powerful mail tools. Imagine how powerful and useful they become when you can work with your Yahoo mail on your Ipad. When you set up an Ipad Yahoo mail connection, you can save yourself time and energy every time you check your email. And of course suddenly your Yahoo mail gains all the mobility advantages of your Ipad.

Best of all, this connection isn't even hard to set up. You can be up and running in just a few minutes.

There is, however, one issue you need to deal with when you want to get Yahoo and the Ipad working together. The Yahoo Mail Ipad connection only works if you have a premium Yahoo email account. In other words, you must convert your regular Yahoo account into a Mail Plus account or a Business Mail account.

Which should you choose? I suggest you go with the Mail Plus upgrade. It works great and is far less expensive than a Business Mail account.

There are lots of theories about why Yahoo imposes this requirement. But it really doesn't matter why they do it. They do, so we need to deal with it. Fortunately, it doesn't take much effort to convert your current Yahoo email account into a Mail Plus account. And as I mentioned earlier, it doesn't cost much at all. Once you do the upgrade, the rest of the process is very straightforward.

While it takes several steps to set up this connection, none of these steps is difficult to complete. If you've ever installed software on your computer, or followed a recipe in a cookbook, or are smart enough to have chosen an Ipad, you can do this!

But you do need to make sure you work from quality instructions. Things change in the tech world, which means the steps you need to follow could change over time, as Yahoo updates their services, and Apple updates their end of the connection.

What does that mean for you? It means that you should get your instructions from a website with up-to-date, tested instructions. Some sites out there assume you are a tech god, and just list some settings you need to change. They assume you can figure out everything else on your own.

But who needs that kind of hassle? What most of us want when we do something like this is instructions that walk you through each step of the process, from converting your free Yahoo account into a Mail Plus account, to the exact steps you must take to make the Yahoo Ipad connection work properly.

There was a time when I was into puzzling out stuff like this, but no more. Now it seems to me that the goal is to get through this tech geek stuff as fast as possible and get back to using my Yahoo mail and my Ipad. If you feel the same way, you'll like the site I'm sending you to. Check it out then get your own Yahoo Ipad connection set up right now!
