Cyber Café Webmail Service
Test Before Leaving Home

Keep in Touch
The BCPC Cyber Café in Exhibition Hall 2 will be open for use by delegates throughout the event.

In addition to using the PCs provided, delegates this year will be able to connect their laptops by Ethernet cable or through a Wi-Fi access point.

This service allows delegates to access their email 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 emails and reply and send new emails. 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 email clients like Outlook Express or Microsoft Outlook. (These email 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) email 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 email servers, you may be able to use one of the 'web to email' services such as "mail2web.com". For this, you'll need to know the name of your POP3 email 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 email server cannot be accessed in this way, set up a temporary web-based email account and re-direct your incoming email to it while you're away from home. There are many free services available.
