E Mail pick up

Hi,

Looking for some advice on e mail. I would like to pick up e mail from when I am out and about from internet cafes, librarys or abroad. So can I set up an e mail account (for free!!) and access it anywhere ?

Ta.

    Set yourself up a hotmail or yahoo account. You can access these from any computer with an internet connection. If you go away, you could always redirect any incoming mail from your normal email address to your free account.

  • I presume you know the difference between types of emails? (ie webmail Vs pop3)? Sorry if you do...I spent 3 hours trying to explain it to some friends the other day!

    Anyway, I use https://www.postmaster.co.uk for my webmail (available on any internet accessed PC). It has less 'junk' than others I know - they have a HUGE inbox free version (unlike many others) and it has been reliable for years. It doesnt take long to sign up for either!

    You should be able to access a yahoo.com account anywhere in the world. As long as you have an internet connection and a web browser.
