Thinking about getting a touch and want to be able to use it with Yahoo Mail. A few questions?

Is Yahoo webmail usable on the screen?

From what I've read, there is a mail app on the Touch that will work with Yahoo mail. Is it pretty seamless? If I use the app, is mail that is downloaded deleted from yahoo automatically (I don't want it to). Is mail that I delete in the app deleted from yahoo ( I want it to). Are items I send in the app put into my sent items folder at Yahoo (I want it to). Do I get access to my Yahoo calendar and address book (I want it to).

I honestly don't use Yahoo! Mail, but I know that the app is the integrated mail app and it is push capable. I believe you can set iTunes to sync with the Yahoo Calendar and Contacts, but again, I'm not 100% sure.

Hopefully someone around here is a Yahooser. :o

I'll answer my own question in case anyone searches for this answer in the future. Yes on all counts. Was hoping for the best and stopped and bought one on the way home. The built in mail app synchs perfectly with the online version of yahoo mail. Worth the cost of the touch just for that!
