email from a web page

Post by Jon »

I'd like to figure out a way I can log into my windows 2000 server from any computer using a standard web browser and be able to access my email.

What would be the best way to handle this.

The location I will mainly access from will not allow me to install any 3rd party apps on their machines.

Can this be done via a web page log on?

Pretty cool

I have been using some perl scripts to do rudimentary access to my various mailboxes, but this commercial site looks pretty good. The only downside I can see is that I can't fudge the "from" and "reply-to" fields. Yeah, I know it's a security feature, but there are times when I'm in one e-mail account, and I want to send mail so that it LOOKS like I'm somewhere else.

But given that small picky item, I'd say that the mail2web thing is pretty decent. Thanks for the link!
