Have you checked with your email provider if they have a 'WebMail' facility
? Who is your email provider ?

And if you follow the second route below make sure you set the account
properties to leave a copy of the mail on the server - that way you can
retrieve them all again when you get home (ofcourse you may not want a copy
at home in which case ignore this!)

Outlook Express is a Mail Client, not a mail server. You should be able to
access new messages (and any older messages not removed from the server) via
your account's web-mail page while you're travelling.

Sorry, but you've read wrong. It has nothing to do with XP Home
edition. If your ISP has webmail capabilities, and you are at any
computer with web access, you can do this, regardless of what
operating system it is running. It could be *any* version of Windows,
Linux, Macintosh, or anything else. The operating system is completely
irrelevant.

OOps, I wasn't referring to "web mail" I was referring to
accessing POP mail from another computer away from home using
"Outlook Express". You are right about 'web mail' and accessing
via web browser, I guess I didn't read correctly and thought he
wanted to use OE. Don't know
what I was thinking. Sorry about that.

Avise you ask in a group with OE in the title. Advise you to notice
THIS group lacks that.

Ask elsewhere

Fine, but you're still wrong. Outlook Express can access pop mail on
*any* computer it can run on. There is no problem with doing that with
XP Home Edition either.

Moreover, there's nothing special about Outlook Express. It's one of
many E-mail clients that can access pop E-mail. If he has access to a
computer that runs either Outlook Express or any of these other
pop-capable E-mail clients, he can easily do this. The operating
system, or even the hardware platform, doesn't matter.

The only potential issue he might run into is that if is using a
public computer (for example in a commercial E-mail cafe), they might
not want him to configure their E-mail client for his E-mail account.
But that's still an issue of their letting him or not, not a technical
issue.

I tried using OE from my brother's computer to access my e-mail
and my/our (common) ISP refused to allow this no matter how I
configured his OE. I believe that it was a matter of security
and billing. With web mail and a proper password, it was okay
while using a web browser. That was the main point of my
experience.
