I tried
www.web2mail.com to access my various e-mail accounts. That didn't work because it led to another browser page being launched, which isn't allowed. I have webmail accounts with 1and1.com and virginmedia.com. These didn't work, possibly for the same reason.
Yahoo and Gmail are said to work. Is this true? Are there other ways to check my e-mail with Kindle 3G? Or am I simply asking too much?
Thanks for your help.
Yes, it definitely works with gmail. I used gmail with my Kindle 3g quite recently.
It is slow and awkward, but works for basic email messages.
I would NOT want to use it for doing a great deal of emailing. But when I found myself in places where I was unable to use my netbook, I was glad to have access via my kindle.
