Actually, the hotel ISP is just the avenue to acquire an address and get on the huge network we call the internet. From there, the connection is still directly from the mail client to the "home" ISP POP3 server to download mail. The wayport ISP would have nothing to do with this unless they're using a firewall to block POP port 110. -- Chris
