Look at 'fetchmail'. Assuming your provider enables something like IMAP or POP then you can use fetchmail to retrieve your email to your local machine for reading within RMAIL or any other mailer. Although it is arguably better to use an IMAP based mail user agent and leave the email on your web email provider. That is what I recommend you do but I won't stop you from trying it anyway. :-) Instead of RMAIL let me recommend 'vm' if you want to read email within emacs. RMAIL uses an old format mail spool. Unless you really want to use RMAIL then you probably don't really want to use RMAIL. http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/CategoryViewMail > What "web mail"?

RMAIL is an old classic email-inside-of-emacs mode. http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/emacs/Rmail.html#Rmail Bob
