If you have your own computer, you can setup Mulberry or your preferred email client (e.g. Mac Mail, Microsoft Outlook) to access your Carleton email from anywhere in the world. See this page written by the SCIC about how to configure your email program correctly for off campus access.
If you will be using computers in cyber cafés or other locations, you can always use Zimbra webmail (access Gmail from a web browser at http://mailgmail.carleton.edu).
PLEASE do not forward your Carleton email to a Hotmail account. Hotmail accounts fill up too fast and then bounce messages and you don't get the information sent to you. We don't recommend forwarding your email to any account for this reason, but Hotmail is particularly bad at this.

We have instituted a new password reset service that allows you to reset your own password without calling the SCICITS Helpdesk. In order to use this service, you MUST set up the answers to your shared secret questions. Please do this before you leave campus! You will not have time or forget to do it as soon as you leave. If you do not set up your answers you will not be able to use the reset service. And in the very near future, the SCIC may not be able to reset your password for you.
You can do this at the Password Changing Page, click on Set up some challenge questions now.
