[iBook] Foreign Service....

[Pat]

I was advised today by an Apple product specialist that using .mac to 
'fetch' my mail and send it to .mac while I'm in France won't work.  He 
also said I'd have to read .Mac mail on the website, which will be most 
inconvenient as I'll have very limited time online.  I was under the 
impression that I'd be able to download my email with my Mail program 
and then offline read it and answer it when I went back online.  What 
say you road warriors?

I figure someone, somewhere on this list will know the answer, so 
thanks in a advance!
