[K12OSN] my laptop in the lab

[Brian Chase]

You are better off running an IMAP mail server and grabbing your pop 
mail from your provider with fetchmail, then serving it out over the 
internet via Secure IMAP (port 99x).  Then all your mail will be 
available to you from anywhere on the internet, including drafts and 
sent items from any location.
