I will be traveling. Will it be possible to check my e-mail from a different computer?

Answer 1

Certainly. Are you using Yahoo or Hotmail? Then this is too easy on an answer. You just login to http://mail.yahoo.com or the url for Hotmail email (I dont use, not sure if it's http://mail.hotmail.com ). Doesn't matter, as long as you are on ANY computer with AN internet connection, then it's a no brainer, just punch in that web address.

If your email is not available from a web based interface (can't be viewed with web brower, but instead needs to be retrieved with Outlook) then you still can, but you're going to have to do a little editing.

Go into the computer Outlook/Outlook Express program. Dont just overwrite anyone's existing email account, instead click the Add button to add a new email account (when you are about to leave you can be courteous and Delete the account).

After clicking Add, then punch in your email host server (ie mail.yourisp.com), username, and password. (Just like you did when you configured yours). Now when you hit the Send/Receive button, it will fetch your mail too. You could even be more courteous and edit their account, to NOT be included in the Send/Receive. When you hit the Send/Receive button, it will only fetch yours, and not theres. But of course, when you are done with your email, go back in and include there account with Send/Receive (and disable yours) so that if they use the email program, it will only fetch their email and not yours.

Where you traveling too? Lol, Good luck, have fun.

Answer 2

Yes. Here is a service that I first heard about through PC World Magazine. Mail2Web (http://www.mail2web.com/)

This is what PC World Magazine had to say about the free service

"30 Things You Didn't Know You Could Do on the Internet" -- written by Dan Tynan (http://www.pcworld.com/article/id,120784-page,2/article.html)


You say your ISP doesn't offer a Web interface for your e-mail inbox? Don't fret. With Mail2Web you can access any POP3 or IMAP4 account, read and respond to messages, and attach up to 10MB of files from any Web-connected computer. And don't worry, your mail will still be there ready to download when you get back to the office.

Answer 3

Generally yes, as the other person said, as long as it is one of the net-based mail servers, however, you COULD get a flash drive and copy your Outlook program to that, if that is what you are using, and then use it to check your email from there..
I do NOT use Outlook because of the problems it always seems to have with viruses.. Yahoo!, Hotmail, Netscape, AOHell, etc, are all reliable, useful services to get email on.

Answer 4

it depends...if it is a web browser based email (ex: yahoo or hotmail) then yes

if you use Microsoft Office Outlook then you will have to find out where your email is coming from and go to that site

Answer 5

If your e-mail is anything but outlook express, then yes.
