Setting up web-based email -- for Sandy
Hi Sandy!
I didn't see that you actually got an answer about setting up a web-based email to read your POP mail. We've used both Yahoo and Hotmail for this, and by filling in our POP username, server (usually whatever comes after the @ in the address) and password for that POP account, it works fine. We've done this to read our local ISP mail, susogi.net mail, and our university account mail through hotmail and yahoo, and no problems there. We didn't have to change anything at the ISP, Susogi, or university for it to work. We haven't used hotmail for that in months, but I think it let us check all our accounts just by pressing one "Check external mail" button, but with Yahoo you have to check each account separately. Yahoo also has a little colour-code thing so the background of the header shows up tinted to a different colour (you chose) for each POP account, so you can tell where it was sent to easily. And to change your "from/reply to" address, you just go under Options and Preferences and fill in the address you want in the "from/reply to" box. You just have to remember to change it again after when you want a different reply to address.
Hope this helps!
