Where are my iphone notes on my imac?

Before posting here I did a search and understand my iphone notes get synced to Mail. But I don't use Mail on my iMac; I just go straight to a third-party site for my mail.

Today I synced my iPhone and forgot to uncheck Sync Notes and a bunch of old notes got put back on my iPhone that i didn't know were still on my iMac. This is stuff I just want deleted from everywhere, not just from my phone. If I don't use the Mail application on my iMac, how can I delete them from there?

Thanks.

iMac, Mac OS X (10.6.8)

Hi..

If you ever did use Mail on your Mac, you may need to go into the Mail app and delete your account(s)... or at the very least delete the notes that were stored there previously.

Also, with the iPhone plugged into the Mac, go into iTunes and manage the sync features of the iPhone. Specifically, you want to uncheck the box that enables syncing the Notes.

I hope this is helpful.

I never did use Mail on my Mac. Is there any way to get in there to delete the notes without setting up an email account? I'm guessing probably not.

Which leads me to the question, if I'm using Yahoo (via Yahoo.com) for my email, is there any benefit to setting it up through Mail on the Mac?

Thanks.
