I do this too... wherever I am, I check my POP mail from mac.com.
Unfortunately, I don't have space for SimpleMail on my unupgraded eMate,
so I cannot use SMTP authentication. I have to use other SMTP servers,
since mac.com requires authentication. At home, I use the cable modem
company's server. At school, I use the campus servers. It all works out.
