No secret I use a lot of email accounts. For a purpose. For a community. For relatives. For friends. For projects.
Interesting that some ISPs (i.e., Saint Peter’s University Hospital and Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital) offer free wifi.
Unfortunately, like most things you get for “free”, they both have their own “unique” opportunities.
Not everyone has a VWBBIE (i.e., a Verizon Wireless Broad Band Service for 70$/month) or an IPAD with the AT&T 3G turned on!
SPUH doesn’t permit email. I chatted with a fellow nerd from a past employment and he had no idea why or even who “decreed” this. But the diktat couldn’t be overturned.
Now clearly with web access, you can use the web front end that most email providers have. But that’s not a very efficient or effective imho. Your really want a unified mailbox for the different account with the capability to send from the correct account.
GMAIL to the rescue.
It was trivial to set this up so that “emergency” could read and write in the “important” accounts.
Now when I need it, I have it.
Kudos to GMAIL.
