The easiest way is to get your mail delivered locally. No problem if
you're on broadband - use the free functions of no-ip.org or similar. I've
gone slightly upmarket and purchased a domain name that points to it.
You'll have to rejoin the lists, but it's so much nicer to have your mail
there at lan speeds when at home (:
