Connecting to Hotmail

[JBreen]

I am going on vacation and I am going to need to connect to my email. I have given up hope on connecting directly to my ISP, but I thought I should be able to connect to Hotmail. Is there anyway that I can do that or is this all just a pipe dream?? anyways, it would be greatly appreciated if anyone could help me with my little problem! Thanks everyone!

You have the same problem that I had: how to access Hotmail while on the road.

Some posters have mentioned that they can get to Hotmail using Web Pro on their Clies. Web Pro doesn't work on my NZ so I don't know for sure. But that would be the easiest option.

I've been using the Gopher King service (www.gopherking.com) as one of my solutions. It's a fee-based website that provides access to almost any email provider, including Hotmail (but not the free Yahoo mail). Because it's web-based, you can access it with any device that can connect to the internet, including web-enabled cell phones. So I have been able to access Hotmail using slow net cafe PCs, clients's cell phones, friends' PDAs, and my NZ. It can do a lot but it may be more than what you need.

If you have a cell phone that has GPRS capability, like a T68i, you can access Hotmail directly from the phone using mobile.msn.com/pocketpc. I use this when I don't have my NZ with me. But because data entry is tedious on a phone, this method is good only for reading email.

Hope this helps.

I'm having this same problem, I thought netfront would work but it didn't, oh well.

Try that, you can login with your .Net passport so I assume you can check email.
