Reading email on another computer

[withers0705]

I have comcast as my email provider. Just today I activated Windows Mail and
now all my email from Comcast is coming into Windows Mail, which is what I
wanted, but now my Comcast email is empty. So I guess all my email is just
being re-directed. My question is when I am not at my computer but on a
public computer, how can I access my email? I normally just log onto
Comcast.net and go to my email but now none of my mail is in there? Did I do
something wrong during set-up? Can I fix this? Or is this just the way it
is.

By default, a POP email program will delete messages from the server
after successfully downloading them. This hails back to the days when
server mailbox storage space was limited. To change that default:
Go to Tools, Accounts, select the account, Properties, Advanced,
enable "Leave a copy of messages on server." Depending on how much
storage space Comcast allows, you may want to select one or both
of the two associated 'remove' options.

on Win mail and reply on webmail,I hope.

laptop behave better.

For those who don't know, UK's 3mobile is a 3G cellular/wireless type of
internet service, similar to the AirCard service offered by Verizon in the US.
I don't know enough about 3mobile to tell you if it offers its own SMTP
server, which would be ideal for your situation.

It worked just sent myself an email ,accessed it on win mail, and then went
into my webmail and it was there. Now I am not bothered if I cannot send on
Win Mail as I can manage the few emails I receive fine.
