I love not having to be tied down to my computer all day!
I wonder though how it will really work because there might be some security issues with it considering companies put their web servers behind a strong firewall. What’s the difference of allowing webmail servers instead?
Hey thanks for the question – depends on whether the company’s email allows IMAP/Exchange access or not.
Let me know if that answers your question.
I can’t wait until the whole world is a free wi-fil zone and you can get your email from your laptop anywhere, anytime.
