One point I want to add concerning Chris's reply; this is regarding POP3
service (I know very little about IMAP so will refrain from commenting to
that regard).
If you are using POP3 service, you may run into a slight problem in that
switching from a single device-based e-mail client to having two devices
accessing the same account may result in some issue with both devices
receiving all messages. Here's what I mean; suppose on your PC you have the
POP3 service configured such that the messages are deleted from the server
when they're downloaded to that PC. Well, if those messages are removed
from the e-mail server before your iPhone has a chance to attempt to
retrieve them, the iPhone will never get them. And if you have the e-mail
client on your iPhone similarly configured, the PC may never get messages
removed from the server after being downloaded to the iPhone.
Now, you can always disable that specific aspect of configuration (on both
PC and iPhone), but then you'll need to take measures to eventually remove
those messages from the server. There is, the last time I checked into it,
a limit on the amount of disk space ISP entities allow any e-mail service so
you will need to purge the server of old messages in some fashion.
Just a cautionary note, that's all.
