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.
I tried using OE from my brother's computer to access my e-mail and my/our (common) ISP refused to allow this no matter how I configured his OE. I believe that it was a matter of security and billing. With web mail and a proper password, it was okay while using a web browser. That was the main point of my experience.
