Hello Lisa, It depends on Earthlink's permissions as to whether you can check your email, using your Mum's account. What you will need to establish with Earthlink is whether they allow pop3 access from other networks. Here in New Zealand, some ISPs do allow this and some don't.

I got conflicting responses when I posted before so I'm posting this again hoping to get agreeable responses. > Okay I'm visiting my parents next month. Currently I use Earthlink as my pop server and my local ISP as the smtp server and to access my Internet. I currently use the Ethernet card that goes with the BN to access my email and Internet. > Okay so when I'm visiting my family I am hoping to do the following. Please tell me if this will work. I'm thinking it should since the BN functions successfully now with the pop server and the SMTP being from different places. > Mom uses a dial-up service through her local ISP. I would like to use the BN's internal modem input her SMTP server name, her service's phone number, password, and user name for her service. Now I would like to leave my email password, email username and pop server under Earthlink. > Will this work? Does anyone foresee any problems? I hope my request makes sense. There is not a local number to dial into Earthlink where I am going. There is but I'd have to pay long distance charges for it and that seems silly if I can access my email the way I'm hoping I can. > Someone said it should work okay and someone said I'd have to use Mom's pop server setting. I guess really I'm looking for feedback from others if they have tried this before. Maybe some feedback from PDI tech support would be helpful. I just want to go visit my family knowing if this will work or not so I don't have to waste my time figuring out if it will or not. Thank you for your help and your time. > Have a great weekend everyone. > Lisa > > > ___ > To leave the BrailleNote list, send a blank message to > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > To view the list archives or change your preferences, visit > http://list.pulsedata.com/mailman/listinfo/braillenote >
