Have a reserve webmail account which I use irregular. I would like to know if it is possible to get the email from such a web mail account to my computer in order to read it off line or just to save it there. The instructions on the account page are not very clear so I do not come very far there. There-above they are not written in my mother tongue, nor in one of the other languages which I master good. I assume there must be a good knowledge on the list because several list members are using e.g gmail etc. and I think that it makes common sense to have the important emails on your own puter.

I'm not 100% sure but I think it may all depend on whether your webmail provider has POP servers. If so they should offer details of how to set it up. Gmail and Yahoo Mail (I have accounts with both) both have pretty good configuration pages for setting this up.

Well they have a kind of setup page for their POP server but the information that they supply is less than complete and not useful.

Gave up and are now looking for a Gmail invitation. Anybody who can help me?
