Jeffrey,

While I do not like it, and would consider it only for a short period,
have you considered WebMail on the ATTGlobal Web site?  With this, as
long as you can get to the Web via any connection, you can get/send
mail.  As I understand it, all of the inbound/outbound mail that you
want to keep can be retrieved when you finally do get back to a
location where you can use PMMail.
