Access to Mail out of country?

[Kirjava444]

Hello,

I hope this hasn't been posted before, but a quick search didn't bring up any threads describing this situation:

My family currently owns three Macs, and we use Mail on all three to see our e-mail (our provider is Shaw, and we are in Canada). However, we're curious to know if it is possible for us to see our e-mail when we are in the U.S. on vacation (carrying our PowerBook G4 with us)?

Thank you

Uh..

Yeah, just connect to the internet. You might have problems sending directly from Apple mail (some ISPs require certain SMTP servers), but webmail works wherever you have access to the internet.

That's what I thought too, but my mom swears that last time we were there, it wouldn't work
