Need help syncing Notes between webmail and iPhone
I have successfully set up the Mail app on my iPhone to wirelessly sync with my legacy swbell.net personal email account. Presumably the AT&T email account is in IMAP format because if I delete an email from the AT&T/Yahoo webmail viewer the email is also automatically deleted from my iPhone.
Despite setting the iPhone to sync Notes wirelessly with the same swbell.net account, I cannot get the Notes to actually sync. (Notes will automatically sync between my iPhone and work Outlook client which runs on a Microsoft Exchange server.) Any suggestions?

After some further digging, I found the following information regarding syncing Notes between Yahoo accounts and iPhones. In short, it appears that it is possible to partially "sync" Notes, but it is one-way (from iPhone to Yahoo), lands in a Yahoo email folder labeled "Notes", and is not editable in Yahoo (although still editable on iPhone and the updated Note will push out to Yahoo mail):

In my opinion, the Yahoo solution is a workaround at best, but not a true "sync" of Notes. Does anyone have a more functional true two-way sync solution for Notes short of buying an Exchange Server (or going Mac ...)?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions?

A bit dated, but here is another description of the Yahoo - iPhone "sync" of Notes: http://www.everythingicafe.com/sync-ios-notes-gmail-yahoo/
