Caravana Pan Americana: Web mail

 

Web mail

Many companies offer web-based email. This is very handy if you want to send email to friends from the road, and even small towns now have internet cafes.

The other great thing about web mail is that it's almost always free. (All of the services listed below are without charge... they make money on the ads that they show you.)

You should get your web mail account now, so that you can become familiar with it before leaving on your trip. Most of the email services offer an address book, allowing you to enter your friends' addresses before leaving and then easily send mail to them.

Yahoo! mail

Email, address book, & calendar.

Excite mail

Email, address book, calendar, and syncing with your Palm Pilot.

Hotmail

Email, address book, calendar, and syncing with your Palm Pilot.
