Well I figured it out!! For future reference you can set up at pop3 account right here at Yahoo and have Yahoo mail check the WebTv mail. It pulls it off the server...awesome!

You can also get Webtv email thru the Hotmail portal internet website from any computer. The POP3 method is typically done with Outlook Express.
I’ve answered this question many times here at Yahoo! Answers – you’re the first to figure it out on your own! I’m impressed.
Your father is correct – Webtv is the greatest for someone who doesn’t want the expense of a computer or the hassle’s of Firewalls, Virus Protection, AntiSpyware, Defragging......................
For us techies Microsoft has released MSNTV2 designed primarily for home networks and a broadband connection.
I enjoy reading “My Yahoo” with MSNTV2 on a High Definition TV with the “Today Show” in the small Picture-in-Picture each morning.
Your father is fortunate he can email his friends and relatives without a computer.

This is probably more than you ever wanted to know about WebTV, but the article in Wikipedia does explain it, and after reading it and several other articles, I don't think he can get his email by remote access.

Wake on lan might be your nice alternative. That by and large needs to be grew to become on within the bios. And so long as there's an energetic community connection and energy to that PC you'll be able to use a application to ship a get up packet to that PC. Once it will get it, it'll begin in addition like natural. The different alternative, I consider you handiest uncover in larger finish PC's and more commonly servers. DRAC playing cards and such help the powered off internet interface, however I've hardly ever noticeable that on a PC.
