OOps, I wasn't referring to "web mail" I was referring to
accessing POP mail from another computer away from home using
"Outlook Express". You are right about 'web mail' and accessing
via web browser, I guess I didn't read correctly and thought he
wanted to use OE. Don't know
what I was thinking. Sorry about that.
Fine, but you're still wrong. Outlook Express can access pop mail on
*any* computer it can run on. There is no problem with doing that with
XP Home Edition either.
Moreover, there's nothing special about Outlook Express. It's one of
many E-mail clients that can access pop E-mail. If he has access to a
computer that runs either Outlook Express or any of these other
pop-capable E-mail clients, he can easily do this. The operating
system, or even the hardware platform, doesn't matter.
The only potential issue he might run into is that if is using a
public computer (for example in a commercial E-mail cafe), they might
not want him to configure their E-mail client for his E-mail account.
But that's still an issue of their letting him or not, not a technical
issue.

Sorry, but you've read wrong. It has nothing to do with XP
Home
edition. If your ISP has webmail capabilities, and you are at
any
computer with web access, you can do this, regardless of what
operating system it is running. It could be *any* version of
Windows,
Linux, Macintosh, or anything else. The operating system is
completely
irrelevant.

Outlook Express is a Mail Client, not a mail server. You
should be able to access new messages (and any older
messages
not removed from the server) via your account's web-mail
page
while you're travelling.
