-=PCTechTalk=- Question

When I am on the road traveling I can use Outlook Express to send and receive 
mail on the Yahoo Mail POP and SMTP servers with no problem.  I can do the same 
with Gmail.  I assume it is also possible to POP and SMTP on any other server I 
might have an account on.  Why can I *not* do that with my primary email 
account which is on RoadRunner servers in Central Florida (BrightHouse 
Networks)?
RoadRunner says it is because I am not in my "home service area".  

BrightHouse blamed it on Micro$oft, specifically blaming it on a bug in Outlook 
Express problem.  As much as I don't like M$ and want to blame them for 
everything, I don't believe this at all.

I have managed to use OE to send and receive email at a Public Library in 
Bakerville, NC (which does *not* use roadRunner) on a few lucky occasions.

So can anybody tell me what the real deal is here?
