Check @home email from outside the area?

[BadLogin]

Hey, I need to configure my email here to check my @home email out-of-state...Does @home let you access the POP/mail server remotely? 🙂

Some areas have 'dialup' support for checking your email.

I use a static POP/SMTP server instead of the dynamic 'mail' one. I use grnvle1.sc.home.com maybe you could find out what your's is?

I think you first need to enable web access from your connection at home. The link to do that is located on the @Home support page that you can only get to from inside their network. Once you do that you can then access it through webmail. The only way I could get it to work is using Yahoo and setting it up to access another mail account. The server is netmail.home.com.

You can use Mail2Web to access your mail server from the web. All you need is the server name and your account/password.

@home has a web client. u need to set it up. the problem with using web2mail is that that mail server seems to be on an intranet (u just type in "mail" for the mail server w/ @home)

I used to be able to, via www.excite.home.com (I think that's what it was). It was one of the shortcuts charter@home installed for me when I first configured my connection. If I'm on someone else's computer that has Outlook installed, I just add my mail account to theirs (my incoming and outgoing servers are mail.mdsn1.wi.home.com), download my mail, forward anything I need to keep back to myself then delete my mail account from the other computer.

Yea...thats how most cable modems are...My Road Runner e-mail servers are smtp-server and pop-server, but when I want to check them when I'm on vacation or if I'm firewalled I just use smtp-server.rochester.rr.com and mail-server.rochester.rr.com...@home should tell you what to use if the intranet ones dont work.

for my mail i can check it using outlook and putting in for the server &quot;netmail.home.com&quot; and it works fine, this works anywhere for me

yes u can check your @Home mail remotely... in fact, I only check my @Home account thru Yahoo Mail...

u need to find out the domain for your @Home connection, and then use the pop server mail.YOURDOMAIN

This worked for me, but I am not sure if it will work for you... give it a try...

The easy way to find out your mail server domain name is just to ping &quot;mail&quot; from your machine at home. It will return the full address of the server i.e. mail.irvn1.occa.home.com. Then just stick that address in Mail2Web and you are ready to go.

You gotta set it up under some configurations so you can access it from outside your home PC. Then use &quot;netmail.home.com&quot; to view it.
