Can't get mail outside outside of windows mail

All of my e-mail (Comcast, hotmail) started going to Windows Mail on my
laptop and I can't get to it from any other computer now. How can I stop
this, as I need to take my laptop in for service and need to be able to get
to my e-mail from other computers in the mean time? (Vista)

Thank you for your help,

Re: Can't get mail outside outside of windows mail

I assume the other computers are checking your mail via the web?
In order to prevent your Windows Mail computer from removing
downloaded messages from the server, do this:
Go to Tools, Accounts, select your mail account, Properties, Advanced,
enable "Leave a copy of messages on server."

Note that Windows Mail is not capable of handling free Hotmail accounts.
