Checking Emails abroad

You will have had to type them into your outlook express when you first set it up - or on paperwork from blueyonder

If you can't remember there are free programmes online that will find the info for you

How do I find my user name and password. Thanks.

it will be on the documentation you got with cable (blueyonder/telewest/virgin/ntl) when you signed up. it will either be in a letter or a business card.

Thankyou to everyone for all your very helpful advice. I have now found my username and password from the original paperwork and I will give it a try when I am in Cyprus.

I realise that you're a novice but I guess you had someone to help you set up IE originally.
If you download Popcorn from here:

You can have someone help you to put in your email settings (like outlook express but easier) then copy the folder to a memory stick and carry it with you.
When you click on the Popcorn icon it checks and displays your emails for the account(s) that you have set up.
It is safer that using IE when abroad as you don't have to worry about logging out or leaving cookies behind.

P.S. Have a nice holiday...Cyprus is lovely

Might be best to give it a try now in case you need help with it.

I followed your suggestion and tried it and it has worked. So thanks very much as I have learnt something new today.:T

Another option is just visit https://www.mail2web.com/
and enter your email address and password.

No idea how it works but it does.

You're all sorted then.

Have a nice holiday!

If all else fails, find any computer that has Internet access, browse to this address:

http://www.mail2web.com

and, in the two boxes it produces on the screen, enter your email address and your email password. This will enable you to read all the emails stored in your account on the server that hosts it for you.

(Which is what you asked how to do.)

Be sure to log out before you leave the computer!




Doh! Encantador just beat me to the post - but this explains how to do it a little more fully.
