[Ham-Computers] Fast Web mail Service

[Jim Hill]

Hi:
I hope I'm using the correct terminology - I'm referring to email 
clients that can be used in wireless hot spots, such as those 
available at some coffee shops, RV parks, etc.

I'm a RVer, and have been using gmail for emails when on the 
road.   Most RV parks have setups with insufficient bandwidth to 
handle all the users.  Service really slows down, and if you are 
unlucky it becomes nearly impossible to access the Internet during 
the evening.  gmail is very slow in starting up under these 
situations.   Thunderbird is better, but maybe there is something 
even better.  Not every Internet access is slow.  AtomTime (for 
checking time) starts up much faster.

Any suggestions, particularly from those who still use dial up 
modems?   Maybe the ARRL email service is faster.

Thanks, Jim
