If by "out and about with my laptop" you mean further than the boundaries of your house (and hence a workable WiFi signal) - then you will need either a datacard to connect via a sort of dial up service. This is slow and possibily expensive. If you can limit your need for the internet to sitting in McDonalds (etc) you could take out a subscription to (say) BT Openzone.

To set up email within Outlook, you will need the address of your POP (used to receive eMail) and SMTP (used to send eMail) servers. These will be something like pop.ntlworld.com - you will also need tour VM login name and password. Check your paper work for more info...

...enjoy your VM.

Hope that helps.
