I don't know how Eudora could view 'HTML remote images' when Offline.

'Display remote images in HTML messages'
(You must be connected to the Internet to display remote images)

This means that the image isn't really part of the e-mail; instead, the e-mail 
contains only a pointer to a website where the image actually resides. 
When you view the e-mail, your computer accesses the image in realtime from 
that website.

Have you set up the mail program to leave messages on the server. In that case 
you can download them to as many macs as you want to when you get home. If you 
use an IMAP account, such as mobile me or google mail, you can also have copies 
of the emails you send as the programs sync email rather than downloading it.

For this type of access whilst traveling, the server address for sending must 
be that of the ISP you are currently using. There is no work around, but there 
are other possibilities, such as webmail, or using an IMAP account such as 
Mobileme. In the case of IMAP accounts, you can log into the specific server of 
your choice for sending using your username and password. This is set up 
automatically for this type of account. I use this when traveling.

When using Telstra 3G on my iPad, I know that the sending server is mail.big 
pond.com, so could change the setting, but it's rather a pain, so much simpler 
to use my Mobileme account. That sometimes means switching mail accounts to 
reply to emails, but I've been doing it for so long that it isn't a hassle.

Mail queries

[Alex Novakovic]

Hi Wamuggians!

I am currently in Europe & in a situation where I have to download my  
emails & look at them later when I am not connected to the internet.   
I get quite a few emails that have html (?) boxes in them and they are  
blank when I look at my emails without internet connection.  I have  
"Mail/Preferences/Viewing : Display remote images in HTML messages  
(requires additional network access to display)" ticked, but this  
obviously means I have to be connected to view.  Now I may be wrong  
here, but I believe that when I was using Eudora, I could download,  
view later without connection & see all these html boxes with their  
info & I would expect that Mail would do the same as well.  Am I right  
& is there a way of setting this on (I can't see any other options  
though)?



Another issue I will have is that I am using my Macbook Air while  
travelling & this is the first time I have set up Mail & used it on  
this laptop.  When I get back home, I will probably want to transfer  
all the emails sent & received back to my main Macbook Pro working  
computer.  If these files have the same code as others on the Macbook  
Pro, will they get rejected when I copy & paste them, or will they  
still be accepted?


A third issue I have had was that I was not able to send emails for a  
long while.  I was able to receive only & had to use webmail to reply,  
which was a pain.  Highway1 told me that this was sort of usual due to  
something to do with the local server not accepting something or  
other   Is this right - have other travellers had this problem?  I  
am in one place now & have got their outgoing mail server address, so  
it is not a problem, but it was a pain for a while & it may be a  
problem in the future when I am moving around again.



Many thanks in advance for your assistance,

Alex
