It's not at all clear what you are trying to do.  :>(

If you just want to pick up your email from any online computer in the 
world, use mail2web.com .

If you want to run Windows Live Mail on another computer, just download it (
http://explore.live.com/windows-live-essentials?os=win7 ) and install it.

Or do you want to use another computer to log into your home computer and 
run THAT installation of Windows Live Mail remotely?

If you really meant something else, please post back and give enough 
information so that we can help you do what you want to do.  Be sure to 
include such details as your Windows version, mail server - and what you 
actually want to do.

Windows Live Mail is a mail client. Whether or not you can get your
mail from another computer depends on the mail provider, and your
configuration. If you configure WL to POP download mail and delete
from the server, no. If you use IMAP, yes.

Please use proper attribution / quote marks. In your above reply, it's
impossible to tell where the OP's quote is and where your text begins.

Thanks. :)

Hi, Evan.

Yeah, I know.  Sorry about that.

It's this half-baked Wave 4 beta.  :>(  Those quote indicators are available 
in HTML, but not in Plain Text.  Sometimes I remember to manually preface 
the quote with ">  " - and sometimes I forget.

Oh, well.  Wave 4 beta 2 arrives tomorrow, they say, and then everything 
will be fully baked.  I hope.  ;^}

You mean, access your email from someone else's computer?
If you have maintained the default setting of keeping a copy of messages
on the server, then simply use a browser (like Internet Explorer) to go to
your provider's webmail page.

Until its fixed....posts from those using the beta(or even the next version beta if not resolved)will exhibit the same.
I'm not too concerned about expecting folks using the beta to spend additional time(though helpful)....it is what it is.

If your Windows Live email account is a Hotmail type account(and setup in WLM using the DeltaSync server http protocol), then:
- logon to your account at mail.live.com on any pc
or
- setup the same account using DeltaSync in WLM on another machine.

A great big thank you to all who wrote to help me!!  We are going to NY and 
going to use someone else's computer.  Yes, I can access new email via my 
webmail but wanted to know if I could see my Live Mail Inbox, Drafts,etc of 
emails that I already read in Live Mail as the webmail doesn't keep tract of 
what I send out in Live.

Messages can de dragged to a folder on a flash drive.
To get a copy of sent messages while in NY, put your address in the Bcc 
field.

Are you using POP access for that Hotmail account? If so, copies of sent
or draft messages will not be in webmail. To see all the folders, you have to
set up a new account in Windows Live Mail, using the same email address,
but this time let Windows Live Mail set up the default HTTP server protocol.
Once the new account is set up, you should be able to move or copy your
existing messages from the old account to the new account, thereby making
everything accessible remotely.
