What do people here do to access e-mail when away from their normal PC?
Same thing I do when I'm at my "normal" PC...
ssh through to the box that handles my mail, run mutt, rejoice.
When I wasn't doing that I was using IMAP.
Cheers,
The problem with that approach is that it assumes you can get ssh access. My experience of airports, web cafes, hotels etc is that you are pretty much limited to web access (or if you are really lucky POP/IMAP).
I don't like using clear text protocols for remote access to my mail when I'm in untrusted environments (for obvious reasons) so I tend to use SSL enabled webmail.
