I agree that it can be expensive and sometimes the first or second access
point I've tried hasn't worked firt time, but in general it's been a useful
tool for travelling - I've used it in the US, Australia, New Zealand, the
UK and Japan, so for general connectivity it's been invaluable.
As for setting up mailservers, you should be able just to leave your normal
mail server in place ie. your normal smtp and pop settings in your email
app, as you should be able to still access these...
Anyway, hope this is useful to someone... Basically what I'd suggest is to
find a local ISP that supports it, and then you can use it if you have to
travel, but otherwise, just ignore it...
Later.
