John, I have found mail2web (mail2web.com) to very reliable while away. Like some of the other suggestions, it's a Web-based POP mail client. You simply give it the account name and password of your existing account(s) and it retrieves the messages from your in-box to a web page which allows you to read and reply. It's free with minimal ads. You can store your settings under a screen name for future use.

Not sure if this will meet your specific needs, but have you ever used www.thatweb.com? It allows you to access accumulated mail in your normal home account while you are at a remote terminal. If I were out of town for a week, all I would need is internet access in order to view the messages waiting to be downloaded from my ISP (attbi.com). www.thatweb.com is not ISP-specific.

Check with your ISP. Mine has a "Webmail" page that I can access from anywhere and get my current emails, send and receive, etc. using my usual email address. I can't access email folders or address lists stored on my regular computer, so I carry a printed address list. Also, our business website has a 'secret' spot those in the know can click on (passworded) so you can deal with your office email readily, too.
