    It depends on what your provider offers. Have a look round your webmail settings and help to see if it mentions the availability of POP mail - that’s the standard method for getting email from a server onto your own computer. Usually they’ll give instructions on how to use it. Macs come with an email client installed (just called Mail). You’ll need to identify the server, user name and password for the email account to Mail.

    If not, you could forward your essential emails to another provider - not a terribly good solution as they’ll all appear to have come from you.
