i need roaming email

Sometimes you may want to check your email when overseas using webmail. However when this happens you might find all the email is gone! This is because when you download email to your computer it takes a copy off the iiNet webmail servers.

To resolve this, and have 'roaming' email as such you need to leave a copy of the emails on the server. This guide will show you how to do this.

Note: iiNet maintains a 50Mb soft limit on mailboxes. If you have more than 50Mb of email in an inbox you may be subjected to deletion of old messages.
