Hi,

Any idea of where I can create a local email for someone.

I know of Webmail, but isn't there anything better?
 
none, that I know of, unless she can piggy back off someone's WebAfrica Account or something like that. I could make them one on my account if you want... but they would have to trust me with their password... since I have to create it from within my account. Can't you do that?
 
Doesn't their ISP provide them with some free email addresses? I use my local openweb account through Thunderbird.

Thanks for the trouble, but she has an WA account, so maybe that is the best option. :)

What if I create a Gmail account and divert the mail to Outlook? Will that work on a local account?

Yes, that is exactly what I do. I have my gmail set to forward everything to my webafrica account. Then in the e-mail client settings I have my gmail specified as the default reply-to address.

That way I can check my gmail anytime I am on international or away from my own PC. But when I am on local only then I use my e-mail client to check my webafrica (which has the added bonus of backing up everything on my gmail to a computer).
