Until recently, I could frequently GET email while on the road, but not SEND it. When that happened, I was always able to send email using webmail, so it was merely an inconvenience. However, the past few weeks I've had several experiences where I could do neither, yet I had access to most websites (but not the mail server at Inmotionhosting.com). >From the fascinating answers to this question, I see now how many different reasons there might be; and how some of them would be specific to each wi-fi point, so it might not be worth trying to track it down unless I'm staying at that location. The VPN suggestion sounds like a great workaround, I had never thought of that...
