Webmail is an email service that is accessed through a web browser rather than through an application the way that mail clients such as Outlook does. Syncing webmail services with an iPhone is very easy so long as you've done the setup so that your iPhone has access to the webmail account. Note that webmail accounts include email accounts from Yahoo, Gmail, Hotmail, and AOL. Even if your particular webmail service doesn't appear on the iPhone list, you will still be able to sync it with the iPhone.
