I am living in Japan for six months and can only send my ntl emails via a college server.

Although I can pick up emails with Outlook, Yahoo, etc., I have to use the WebEdge service to send emails, but ntl won't 'Relay' them. I tried to send from WebEdge, but it doesn't display Unicode. I have to copy & paste from Word or Wordpad.

During this trial, I found so many other things that it appears not possible to do. It logs me out when I write long emails - I have to spell check or something to keep the connection. It doesn't automatically save emails, you have to check a box each time. If you change your mind about sending to several people, you have to go back to the addresses screen. The spell check is hopeless.

Is it really this bad, or as a relative novice, am I missing some tricks to make it work as well as other web-based emails?
