Yahoo Email Plus in Outlook

I tried to setup Yahoo Email into outlook 2007, easy, right?
Here is the link for the detail

But then I realized that I also want to sync my Yahoo folders (other than inbox) too, and I am stuck. That's the point I realize the different between pop3 and imap4. And Yahoo only provides pop service, that's why I could not get my Yahoo folders. But I know I could get all my Yahoo folders in my HTC EVO, then I go ahead to check the settings, I realized that in my HTC EVO, the setting are the followings:
IMAP Server: android.imap.mail.yahoo.com
Security Type: SSL
Server port: 993
android.smtp.mail.yahoo.com
SSL
465

I also know Dovetail Email could also download folders, wondering what the setup?

JSON

Java Standard Object Notion

It's a format, like XML.

go to http://json.org find all the information.
All the libraries for different languages.

json2.js is JSON parser library for JavaScript.
JSON.parse("blabla");
vs
eval('(' + "blabla" + ')');

JSON is safer and faster.

Tell me again why we want to use JSON.parse() instead of eval()?

Understand JSON.parse() eventually will use eval(), but before that, it will do some checking for you, so it's safer.

Here is a link for details.

JavaScript Function

alert("xxx")
prompt("What is your name?", "Enter your name here")
parseInt("12") //you could parseInt("1.2") == 1 and you could parseInt("3 dozen")
parseFloat("1.2")
NaN: parseFloat("$3.4") = NaN //should not include $
isNaN(xxx): check if a value is not a number
document.getElementById("ddd").value
xxx.toFixed(2): round the value to 2 decimal places.
form.submit()
setTimeOut("alert('wake up!');", 60000);
setInterval("alert('wake up!');", 60000); //repeated
clearInterval(timerId);
location.reload();
document.body.clientHeight
document.body.clientWidth
document.getElementById("rockImg").style.height="100px";
onload
onresize
document.cookie.split(';');
if(navigator.cookieEnabled)
In JavaScript, array could contains different type of data, that's different from Java
var showTime = new Array();

  4. ASTRO - Best file manager for the phone and SD card.
  5. AudioManager - Has a widget to control all the audio options for the phone in one place. Must have app if you put your phone on silence / vibrate only / custom audio profile for alerts and notifications.
