Actually some of us may prefer to concentrate on smtp/ftp/pop[23]/etc.

Why not?  If you can connect to the machine that ordinarily receives your
mail, and it recognizes you, tell it to forward your mail.

If my mail is already being forwarded to jeep.ka9wgn.ampr.org as I drive
around, I'll get it there as long as there is connectivity.  If I decide
to have forwarding done later, I can connect back and ask for it.  Otherwise
I can just use any of a number of protocols to read the mail back home as
long as connectivity exists when I want to read.  The advantage of forwarding
is that I can take advantage of intermittent connectivity that might not
coincide with when I want to read mail, such as when I am asleep.
