How do I e-mail from Italy??
 

I am leaving for Italy in two days and would like to know how one e-mails from a foreign country? Should I bring my own lap top?

No problem. There are Internet Cafes all over Italy, Greece and Turkey. Just ask and you will find one. Every large city has several.

Also, most public libraries and many of the hotels in the larger cities (Rome, Florence and Venice).

Hi Ed, <BR> <BR>Excuse my ignorance, but I do believe that you will have to create another e-mail address to send e-mails with while traveling. I was in the Netherlands last May and used Hotmail to create an address that I used to e-mail family. <BR> <BR>Does this sound correct to all of you out there?

In both Hungary and the Czech Republic last year I was able to access my aol mail. I'm not sure of others. <BR>

Yahoo mail definitely works in Italy (and most anywhere else, I believe.) The internet points in Italy are very user friendly, with the option of American-style keyboards and plenty of helpful, English-speaking staff, should you need them.

Thanks for all the information. Will go to a cyber cafe and leave my lap top at home!

The easiest way to pick up and send emails from Internet cafes or public internet terminals is to get yourself a free WEB-BASED email account (suggest PMAIL or LYCOS). <BR> <BR>If your normal email address is web-based, then no problem. Otherwise, get one of the above accounts, then before you set off, set up your normal account to forward all your mail to your web-based one. Then when you are on holiday, you can go to the PMAIL or LYCOS site and collect /reply to your mail. <BR> <BR>Chris <BR>Sheffield
