10648 2001-03-29 21:50:00 I know that this can be done for Telecom customers by using Xtramail, and in the past for others by using Mailstart. The latter is now restricted to one use per week, so does anyone have alternatives for non-Xtra users?

Thanks in advance

If your ISP doesn't support web-based email you can get a free web-based email account and have your email forward (with a copy kept) to it while you are away.

Have a look here for a hugh list with ratings:

10650 2001-03-30 13:31:00 Another suggestion would be to setup a free email account with Hotmail. www.hotmail.com Guest (0)
10651 2001-03-31 03:31:00 Two I use are at www.email.com and www.mail.com. Can't get any easier to remember addresses than that! Guest (0)
10652 2001-04-05 13:05:00 My suggestion is to change your isp to one that does support web based mail. Might seem drastic but if you are away from home a lot it would be worth it. Two such isp's that come to mind are ihug and paradise. I use paradise and find the service excellent and they are one of the lowest cost isp's, with no set up charge so nothing to lose. Two problems I see with the Hotmail solution is that every time you go away from home you have to tell your correspondents to use your hotmail address, and hotmail suffers a terrible spam problem. (and the filters don't work!) Guest (0)
10653 2001-04-05 21:31:00 Your ISP may support Webmail.
To test this - using a browser enter
http://www.webmail@YOUR_ISP
where 'YOUR_ISP' = clear.net.nz for example.
If this service is supported you will get a login screen.
