I have gotten so used to having webmail, that I never really explored "other options" as far as checking my email when away from home.
Since Combined have blocked webmail on their internet servers I have finally been forced to review other options.
Friday afternoon had me on the phone to Orange and I now have my phone configured for GPRS and my ancient Dell PDA configured to use a Bluetooth modem. I can now download the headers to my PDA via my mobile and delete all your spam / choose what I want to read / knock out a few replies that I don't want to go via work.
Next step is for me to configure our laptop to do the same and work out how to use the same process when abroad.

I was about to ask why you didn't just use your PDA to download the headers directly but I forgot that my old PDA had communications hardware in it and could be used as a phone.
Doh!!
Who is Hugh Bonneville?
And no, I can't be bothered to google him. ;-)
I bought a Bluetooth add-on for my PDA (CF Card) especially for this purpose well over a year ago (God Bless EBay), but never got round to getting it working!
Hugh Bonneville:
Bernie the useless Finance guy in "Notting Hill" amongst other films and TV series. He is very tall in real life!
Cheers! :)
Well I've spent a very long time thinking 'where the hell did that random question come from?' - then when I moved the comment box it stopped blocking my view of the 'Celebrity of the week' title!!
Was very confused...
...anyway what I meant was, not bluetooth but actual GPRS capability within the unit itself.
Yeah - I got what you meant... was just expanding further on my slackness!
