    ... how do I read mail received on my PC when I am at another location?

The PCMAIL protocol (RFC 1056) is designed to maintain a consistent mail
state for a user across several clients (which may not have full-time
network connections) accessing a single "mail repository".  It's what
quite a few of us at FTP Software use.  An improved version of Mark Lambert's
4.3bsd freeware client/repository can be found on vax.ftp.com, in one
of the pub/pc8xx directories.
