Cyber Café Webmail service
Test before leaving home

Keep in Touch
The BCPC Cyber Café in Exhibition Hall 5 will be open for use by delegates until the Exhibition closes on Wednesday afternoon.

In addition to using the PCs provided, delegates will be able to connect their laptops to the Internet by Ethernet cable. These short-term connections are provided for downloading and uploading e-mails and other files that have been prepared off-line.

Public access Wi-Fi connections are now available throughout the SECC complex as a free, unsecured and unsupported service. A secured and fully supported Wi-Fi service that operates at a higher speed, is available to Exhibitors on application to the SECC for the same charge as a dedicated Ethernet cable connection.

The BCPC Cyber Café allows delegates to access their e-mail accounts free of charge and so keep in touch with the office and family whilst in Glasgow. Here delegates can read and print out incoming e-mails and reply and send new e-mails. The Cyber Café also offers free access to the Internet and the world wide web.

Cyber Café Webmail service
Please note that the Cyber Café PCs provide only a WEBMAIL service, using an Internet web-browser. For technical reasons it is not possible to provide a service on these PCs using e-mail clients like Outlook Express or Microsoft Outlook. (These e-mail clients can be used on laptops connected by Ethernet cable or Wi-Fi.)

Many Internet Service Providers (ISPs) provide web access to their standard (POP3) e-mail services. If you do not already use this service, you will find the details on your ISP's website.

For ISPs who do not provide such webmail access, and for companies that do not permit webmail access to their e-mail servers, you may be able to use one of the 'web to e-mail' services such as "mail2web.com". For this, you'll need to know the name of your POP3 e-mail server and your password.

Test before leaving home
We can help you set up your webmail account once you are in Glasgow, but it would be best if you set it up BEFORE you leave home so that you can test it and be sure it works. You may need some help from your ISP or your company's IT department!

Also, remember to make a note of the web address of your Log-on page.

If your normal e-mail server cannot be accessed in this way, set up a temporary web-based e-mail account and re-direct your incoming e-mail to it while you're away from home. There are many free services available.
