[gui-talk] Seeking Webmail accessibility advice

[David Andrews]

I take a different approach.  I set up my laptop with the same 
program as on my desktop, and set it up to get mail from my regular 
ISP.  I change one setting, that is I have it not delete mail from 
server unless I empty it from trash of laptop.  then I can read and 
dispose of things on my laptop, and if I want to save them and have 
them appear on my desktop the next time I use it, I just don't delete 
them.  It is sort of like imap, but with pop3.
