Hello pendleton-ga!
You asked how you can go about remotely working on your home emails.
Since you're using the mail2web service, it sounds as though you're
looking to keep your emails on the mail server so you can archive your
mail on the home PC when you return from a trip.
Using Outlook Express (which is included with Microsoft Windows 2000),
you can adjust some settings to have it work offline without removing
the email from your mail server.
1. First, follow the directions your ISP supplied to you for setting
up a POP3 account using Outlook Express.
2. After the account is established, go into the tools menu, and
select 'accounts.'
3. Click the 'mail' tab, and double click the account settings you
just made for your home email account.
4. Click the 'connection' tab. Make sure that you do not have it set
up to automatically connect. This will prevent annoying error
messages when you load up outlook when you're not on the Internet.
5. Click the 'advanced' tab. In the advanced screen, check 'leave a
copy of messages on the server.'
6. Optionally, you can check the box 'remove from server when deleted
from 'deleted items.' I like this because I can rid my server of any
SPAM messages I receive without deleting everything off the server.
It will erase any messages you delete and remove from Outlook's trash
can.
6a. Click ok and close the accounts window.
7. Next, click on the tools menu, select options.
8. Uncheck 'send and receive messages at startup.'
9. Uncheck automatically log on to Windows Messenger if it's
available
10. Uncheck 'check for new messages every 30 minutes'
Click OK, and then go online. Click the 'send and receive' button to
receive your mail, disconnect, and you should be good to go! You
can edit your messages like you normally would, and when you log back
online, click send and receive to transmit your messages in your
outbox.

Good luck! Please feel free to post a clarification if you need
additional help.

Unfortunately I can't speak Spanish, so I was unable to interpret the
website for your Internet service provider. Probably the easiest
thing to do would be to gather the information from the email software
you're running on your home PC. To do this:
1. Go into outlook express
2. Click on tools->accounts
3. Click on the 'mail' tab
4. Click on the corresponding email account
5. Carefully mark down the information on each tab of the properties
screen (general, servers, connection, etc).
6. Boot the laptop, and repeat steps 1 ->2
7. Click the 'add' button and select 'mail'
8. Follow the wizard's instructions
9. The POP and SMTP settings you will have written down from the
desktop machine.
You can then follow the remainder of my instructions to complete
configuring this. If you run into trouble, your Internet Service
Provider should be able to provide you with technical support to
finish setting this up on your notebook.
Thanks, and good luck!
