GMail OT?

Yes, Gmail is very similar to Hotmail in that your address never changes and you can access it anywhere that you can get onto the Internet - so your mail is effectively 'portable'. More storage available with Gmail as well and I'd highly recommend it.

Might be worth checking too, if you do have a permanent ISP account many of them offer webmail access similar to Gmail - downside is you still need to pay your access fee regardless of if you use the Internet through it or not, whereas Gmail is always free.

Hi There, there's a site thats even better for your needs it's called www.mail2web.com and it's free anytime any where give it a go its great for stopping mail thats too big coming to your pc etc,

Much prefer gmail to hotmail. 2gb limit for storing old emails from memory.

It can be a good idea to have one of these free email addresses. You can give your free email address out in a public forum and if you get a heap of spam just ditch it. Only give your normal isp email address to people that you trust.

Dave Thompson is on the money here.... just use www.mail2web.com,
put in your regular email and password and you can check your email from anywhere in the world. Saves mucking about with a new email address. I've been using it for years to filter out any spam that comes through.

Cheers
