Remote email access via a browser

[ernest perez]

You might be interested in checking out a really slick email helper, giving you essentially remote client access to your office or private email accounts _via a Web browser._ Take a look at <www.mailstart.com>.

It lets you look at your email account from a browser anywhere. You can use for email at the office, or any other email accounts. Doesn't download and delete mail like a regular email client, unless you command a DELETE. *** PLUS, if you reply using the MailStart browser, the message carries the From: and Return: address of your regular email account.***

You can also just bookmark it, or drag it to your Links/Personal Toolbar on your browser. You probably need to be careful with that, though, since anyone could access your email via that same bookmark!

Nice capability, for on the road, from office to home account, or vice-versa.

Cheers,
