email notifications with Mobile Web service?

Archived from groups: alt.cellular.verizon (More info?)

I was thinking about signing up for Mobile Web service (the $4.99 deal), but
I wanted to first find out if I can access my Yahoo email account using
Mobile Web. Also, more importantly, is it possible to be notified on my
phone when I receive new email messages to my Yahoo email account? Or
would I have to get Hotmail or AOL or something? I have an LG VX6100
phone...

Thanks!
Thor

Actually, I have the Yahoo Plus ($20 year) account which does have POP
access. They do offer POP forwarding, but then it wouldn't go to my PC too.

Thanks,
Thor
