Hello!
I work for an ISP in downeast Maine (Bar Harbor, Acadia National Park) and
close to 600 customers of ours are "snowbirds". And there is often a request
for how to get mail on the road. The easiest and cheapest is to set up a web
mail account at one of the many portals that dot the net (Yahoo, Netscape,
MSN,etc.). The offer a free email account if you just sign up with them
(more eyes for ads, I guess). Their mail systems allow you to access any
pop3 account as long as you know the account name, password, and email
computer name (like: mail.coolisp.net).
Another less intrusive way to get mail on the road is to take your browser
to: www.mail2web.com. The same information allows you to get your email from
any web browser - for many less ads!
I hope this helps.
best

Hi folks
This is perhaps off topic; if so I appologize.
I was talking with a couple this evening about internet access on the road.
They are snow birds, so spend their summer time at home [Wisconsin] and
winters in Florida and Arizona. They wanted to know how I thought they
could best keep getting E-mail while on the road. The have a cell phone,
but no standard phone connection. They do have occasional access to the
Internet via a library computer etc.
They are open to any suggestions such as lap tops etc.
Has anyone dealt with this type of on the road e-mail support and if so how
do you think they are best served?
