Seattle Lab is beta testing emurl, a server product designed to allow Web sites to offer HotMail-like e-mail access.
Once emurl (a play on "email" + "URL") is installed on a site, users can read their e-mail, send, reply to and forward messages, and store their e-mail on the server, all from a standard browser.
L.A. Heberlein, president of Seattle Lab, said: "In an airport kiosk or an
Internet cafe, the one tool you can almost always access is a Web browser.
The one thing you most want to do is check your e-mail. If your home site has
emurl running, you can get to your email from anywhere."

e-mail address, and password. For this reason, users cannot borrow someone
else's computer and check their e-mail without reconfiguring the system.
