Getting email away from home

How do I get my .mac email away from home on my son's pc-based laptop? Thx.

Go to http:mail.mac.com/yourusername and log in with your .Mac password.
From here you should be able to read your mails.
Next time you're back home and login with Mail, your read messages will still download (unless you've deleted them of course)

Don't know how to access my email away from home

i don't know how to access my email away from home.
can't find webmail or email options.
== User Agent ==
Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 7.0; AOL 9.1; AOLBuild 4334.5009; Windows NT 6.0; Trident/4.0; GTB6.3; SLCC1; .NET CLR 2.0.50727; .NET CLR 3.5.30729; .NET CLR 3.0.30618)

Somehow I got it to work, a whole lot easier than i thought, kind of scary how easy... but Im not exactly sure what of several things is how I got it. Scariest thing; watching my iBook I wouldn't know that I was accessing it from the MB. It's only me doing it, but still seems so easy.
If I have a WPA2 password protected wireless network do I have to worry that others can access it so easily? (not that I have anything interesting, it's just the general privacy paranoia)

Outgoing emails away from home

When away from home (ISP TalkTalk) I find I can receive emails fine, but I cannot send emails on Mac Mail. This happened with my last ISP as well. Is there anyway of correcting this whilst still using Mac Mail? I have tried using different outgoing servers, but there seems to be something missing.

Hello, and welcome to the Discussions.
This issue is totally dependent upon the internet provider at the venues you visit while away from home, and also upon whether your ISP provides a SMTP that is fully authenticated and works on a Port other than Port 25. The latter is being increasingly blocked by most providers, and SMTP that trust you at your home venue only by reference to your authentication of the Incoming Server or the IP address of the Modem provided by your ISP are likely to not work when away. This is not related to Mail per se, but any email client.
Ask your ISP is they have a SMTP that works on Port 587 or Port 465 for you to use when away from home.

Sending email away from home

I use a iBook G4 that I have set up wireless Airport in my home. I am able to send and receive emails at home. I have DSL provided by Cavalier and use Safari email program.
I am able to pick up WiFi signals in my travels as a sales rep. and can receive emails. The problem is I can't send emails. I checked with my Internet provider and they tell me to go their web site to send emails. That works for regular emails, but I work with a Filemaker software to generate sales orders that I email to vendors. I am not able to send these emails when I pick up a WiFi signal away from home.
Any suggestions.

Safari isn't an e-mail program, it's a Web browser. When you use Cavalier's Webmail, you do so with a browser (such as Safari).
The Filemaker generated e-mail is probably using an e-mail client, such as Mail, to send the message. When you're sending from a 'foreign', not-Cavalier network (which is what happens when you hitch on someone else's WiFi signal, unless they happen to be a Cavalier customer), The Cavalier SMTP server won't send the e-mail. Many ISPs have adopted this tactic as a way of slowing down the spam avalanche. In some cases, they have established mechanisms to require authentication and use ports other than the popular port 25. It sounds like Cavalier has decided to lock things down a little tighter and requires you to use their Webmail when you're out of network.
One thing you can do is to let Filemaker generate the e-mail, then copy and paste it into Cavalier's Webmail to send it.
Hopefully others will have some suggestions.
Good luck

Do you have to have a phone service to get service away from home on ipad

Do I have to have Verizon phone service to get service on ipad away from home...like in car. If I do does it come from the phone company?

You need a cellular data service from either AT&T or Verizon, depending on the model iPad you have. Look at this: http://www.apple.com/ipad/3g/
iPad cellular data is separate from any cell phone data plans you may have.

Why can't I get internet away from home?

I have mini iPad that is only WiFi capable. As long as I am home, I have no problems connecting to internet. I have my desktop for that. I need my ipad for use away from the house. It never connects - I must be missing something in my settings. The public places, businesses, stores have provided me their passwords and to no avail. I am ready to wipe everything off my tablet and sell it. It is worthless to me at this point. Help!

When you go to such a place you need to do two things:
Settings > WiFI ... select the place's network and enter the password.
Generally (not every time, but very frequently), the place will have a "Terms and Conditions" you must agree to in order to use their WiFi. Those Terms and Conditions will appear either once you enter the WiFi password, or as soon as you open Safari. Let them appear and agree to them.

IPad wont send emails away from home wifi

My iPad sends and receives emails when I'm using my home wifi - but will only receive and not send emails when I am away and using other wifi. Sent messages sit in the outbox until I get home - then they go. Any thoughts?

Try changing the SMTP port from 25 to 587. This should work when connected to both BT network and 3 network.

Accessing email away from home

I just switched to Verizon Fios on Friday and I am trying to access my email from my work computer. I can see my Inbox, but when I click on the message to read it, all I get is a blank screen. I assume that I need to try to change some settings on my work PC, but have no idea where to start. Any suggestions?

Actually their email is pretty good and reliable (past 48 hours excepted) ... it's the web front-end that is a bit dodgy. While I hesitate to suggest it because I personally am not a fan of the "portal" experiences offer by Yahoo! or AOL -- Verizon does allow you to "switch" experiences (under your My Account settings) to one of these two portals instead (once you do so, your email is handled thru that portal and you can't come back to the Verizon "experience"). The experience interface is no cost and you retain your verizon.net email address -- it's just that you retrieve and send your mail thru the web interface provided by Yahoo! or AOL instead. You might want to investigate that avenue. I do know that different areas of the country appear to have different experiences.
Optionally, the big web-based mail providers (Gmail and Hotmail/Live among them) also have the ability to configure their accounts to poll and pull in mail from your Verizon mailbox via a POP connection. So mail sent to your Verizon address is automatically retrieved by their webmail interface and shown to you. I know that Gmail will even let you create a "send as" capability so that you can send mail as your verizon.net account without needing to expose your Gmail account name. Another option. (I have my own domain, so I use GoogleApps standard -- which is free for personal use -- and do exactly this pulling in my verizon.net mail to my Gmail based web interface).

Why can't I get my email messages when i'm away from home?

My Blackberry gets emails when i'm at home via our wireless network, but when I'm away from home, I don't get any email messages or text messages at all. We have both the home WiFi wireless network "on" and the Mobile Network is on. What should I do so I can get emails when I'm away from home?

Without a Blackberry Data Plan you can't get email pushed to your Curve. While on your wi-fi network you are able to access your email, but away from that link you need a data plan.

How do I get my emails when I am away from home .

When I use another computer when away from home how do I access my emails.

Use your email providers webmail page. Go there using an Internet browser and log into your email account.
Thunderbird has nothing to do with this.

I suddenly can't get email or internet access on my I-phone 4G when I'm away from home. how can I fix this?

Yesterday, I suddenly lost the ability to access email and Internet on my I-phone when I'm away from home (where we have Wifi). Is there a simple way to fix this? I have gone into Settings and can't figure out what to do.

if you're away from how do you access data? through your network? check if you turned off your data. Go to SETTINGS>GENERAL>NETWORK
turn on Cellular Data if it's OFF
3G should also be ON for faster access.

I've managed to get back to Pages 4.3 and delete the downgrade Pages 5, which makes a total mess of any doc prepared with it, but how to I get back to the old version of Pages on my iPad so that I can work while I am away from home.

I've managed to get back to Pages 4.3 on my iMac and delete the downgrade Pages 5, which makes a total mess of photo-rich documents prepared with Facing Pages (most of mine), but how to I get back to the old version of Pages on my iPad so that I can work on sections away from home. At least on my old PC, Word maintained compatability with old versions. Beginning to regret having switched.

Thanks for your help. What is really irritating is that Apple give a big hurray about what they have added as "new" in Pages 5 (most of it pretty useless) without telling you of the myriad things they have deleted. If they had shown the list your gave the link to, I doubt may regular users would risked going to Mavericks with its auto upgrade. My partner got the message in time and is sticking with the earlier operating systems and Pages on Mac and iPad. Lucky girl.
I have found a way to use my iPad to add chapters written while on the move to reports on my iMac Pages 4.3. If I write it on the new Pages on the iMac (don't seem to be able to revert there), the send the report as an email in WORD format (not Pages) and download it in the Text Editor, then cut and paste into the story on the iMac. Hardly elegant but it works.

Hi. I have temporarily moved away from home. I am using a different internet connection, and I have lost my bookmarks. How do I get them back?

Hi. I have temporarily moved away from home. I am using a different internet connection, and I have lost my bookmarks. How do I get them back?

Generally speaking, your bookmarks are private to your computer, and if you set up multiple Firefox profiles on your computer, to the one profile.
Your bookmarks might be available to you at another location if you used the Sync service. In order to connect a new computer to the Sync service when you aren't near your old computer, you need a recovery key. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/share-bookmarks-tabs-and-more-your-other-computers#w_what-if-im-not-near-my-first-computer
If you didn't use Sync or can't access your account, someone with access to your old computer could email you your bookmarks. Since there is a range of different ways to do that and the best choice might depend on what you can expect the person you ask to be able to do... could they start up Firefox in your profile and follow menu steps to export a file? Could they drill down into a hidden folder on the system, zip a file, and mail that to you? Etc.

Using Email on iPhone Away from Home

If anyone can help with this I would be grateful. I am having issues sending and receiving emails (with a comcast email account) from my iPhone when I'm away from home. At home it works fine -- I'm guessing because it's accessing comcast's mail servers via my Airport WiFi system. However, when away from home and when the iPhone has to send/receive via ATT's Edge network, I get "unable to connect to server" messages.
Any suggestions on how I might fix this, or is this an ATT issue?

You should be able to receive mail fine, whether you're on WiFi or Edge...
for your outgoing server try adding :587 to the end of the server address.
Put your username and password in.
Go to advanced and make sure SSL is turned off, and authentication is set to "password".
That worked for me with my provider, and I had used the suggestion based one what someone using comcast had said!
