OT e mail help

Okay, heres the deal. I have a local ISP (NOT MSN) and I use Outlook Express POP3 E Mail its NOT web based e mail. Sooooo when Im gonan be in say Texas I wanna get my e mail at my same 10 yr old jmn50@msn.com e mail address (Im NOT gonna change it) Ive always had and I dont want it to fill up in my local POP3 Outlook Express box (I think with Outlook Express POP3 my e mails are stored on my own puter NOT the server), just log in n pick it up n delete it same as if I were here at home. Okay, I checked some of these mail.com n other sites where you can supposedly pick up e mail anywhere in the world n I think they would work ifffff ffff I had web based e mail but they dont seem to work on my POP3, error messages say something like MSN isnt compatible with POP3 buttttt tt Ive had that MSN e mail address for years n it works now as POP3 on my local ISP

QUESTION IS

How am I gonna be able to pick up my regular POP3 e mail on the road n so it dont blow up my puter as full when I return i.e. need to be able to receive n delete n NOT get them all again when I return ????? ????? ????

I plan to take daughters old lap top and it will be set up before we leave using Outlook Express buttttt tt thats POP3 via my local ISP remember so I dont know what happens on the road if I try n pick up POP3 outlook express e mail. Again I dont think those fit all e mail program pick up anywhere things will work for my POP3 outlook express address cuz I tried one n got the error message grrrrr rrrr it refused to let me get to jmn50@msn.com, but cant swear to that

Ima really gettin nervous over this, can someone help ????? ????? ????? ??? Gonna post this on YT and JohnnyPopper

BTW I do what your attempting to do all the time. Just a manner of getting setup correctly.

Setup OE on the laptop for your pop3 email and just download it. You can download pop3 email over any connection anywhere in the world as long as the normal settings are made.

If you might want to leave some of the emails on the server when you return home, you can set OE to "leave messages on the server" AND "remove from server when deteted from 'deleted items'"

Another possibility is to call your ISP and have the mail forwarded to your MSN email address.

And there is always webmail if your ISP offers it. Most do now days.

Sending with OE would be the issue. Most ISPs (due to spam) require you to connect to their SMTP server with their connection. The ones that don't, have a SMTP server that you authenticate to like the Pop3.

In general, you can log into and receive messages from any POP3 server - no matter where you are in the world.

BUT, you will have to use the local Texas ISP OUTGOING email server, since it is the only one (as far as most local ISP's are configured these days (not counting national systems like Gmail, hotmail, etc)) that will deliver email out for you.

Also, you can create multiple email accounts in Outlook Express and or create multiple identities which allow you to switch... Just a matter of taste in how you want it set up...

I too have local ISP with dialup. I can get to my e-mail when I travel by using Internet Explorer to go to the ISP website. I can then log on to webmail using my e-mail addy and password. I can read, delete, or reply to my mail on the ISP server. When I get back home I can then download all the e-mail to my desktop. Might want to have a conversation with your ISP provider and see what is available.

I'm REALLY going to urge you to dump Outlook Express. It and Internet Explorer are tied too closely to the operating system and are vulnerable to attack by those with nefarious intent. Go with Firefox for browsing and Thunderbird for email. Thunderbird allows you to import your Outlook Express address book.
