I have a client that will be traveling from the U.S. to China this
summer. He wants to know if he can take his notebook to check his
email. Anybody have any experience with this/know how to do it?
If the client gets regular internet access, *checking* mail should be fine.
However, as he will be away from his "home" network, if he's using a client
like Outlook, OE, Thunderbird, etc, SMPT mail and an outgoing mail server on
Port 25, he won't be able to *send*. Web clients won't have this
limitation.
If that's the case, get a 3rd party SMTP account, such as gmail, that
doesn't use Port 25, and use that as the sending server. This will just
end the problem. Just be sure to adjust the "reply-to" addresses.
