Since you are dealing with hotels, I suggest you forget about your ISP
e-mail system.

Gmail works everywhere when properly setup.

Many ISP's support alternate ports for use when traveling - and many of
their tech support people don't mention it. You will need to authenticate
with the server to send - in fact, if you aren't authenticating now, it
might be all you need to do.

Typical alternate SMTP is 587 - if they have it open, you will need to
authenticate with it. However, based on what I know about shaw, I would not
bet that they use it.

See http://www.slipstick.com/Tutorials/more/settings.htm for help
configuring authentication. If you aren't authenticating now, I would try it
first.

As far as I can tell from Shaw's help pages, they do not support IMAP which,
as VanguardH suggests, would be an excellent way to be able to see the same
data from more than one PC. Thus, you'll have to define the same POP account
on both PCs and make sure you leave copies of the messages on the server for a
selected number of days so you can log onto each and get the messages.
Otherwise, you can use the information Diane posted.
