Scotland _and_ Portstewart - aren't you past the age for cruising up and
down Portstewart promenade trying to impress the local girls? :-)

Seriously, if you want to read _all_ emails, you'll need the PDA route, but
if it's just the odd urgent one, http://www.talk21.com is worth looking
into- you get SMS notification when there's a new message, but you can call
in and have it read emails over the phone.  I only use mine for urgent
contact when I'm likely to be away from a computer for a long time, and it
works very well for a low volume of mail (you can even reply- it records
your voice and sends it as a .wav to the sender of the original email- but
I've not used that myself except to test it!)

It's also much more reliable than genie.co.uk 's email to SMS forwarding.
