Remote E-Mail Services
Normal Road Runner e-mail can only be accessed from within the Road Runner network using your cable modem. In other words, you have to be on your Road Runner connected computer in order to access your Road Runner e-mail.

Which should I use?
No one solution is better than any other. But, to help you decide which may be best for you, here are a few scenarios to think about:
- You are taking a vacation in another state. You're staying at your brother's house. Your brother has a computer, an Internet Service Provider and an e-mail account.
Consider: Web Mail or Mail Forwarding Service
- You are traveling with your laptop. Your laptop has a modem, and you have a dial-up account with another Internet Service Provider.
Consider: External (POP) Mail Server
- You already have well known (by your friends and associates), non Road Runner e-mail address...maybe a work related address. You would like your Road Runner e-mail to ALWAYS be received at your work e-mail box.
Consider: Mail Forwarding Service
