Thanks Mark, Phil, Kyle and many others for the replies and suggestions.  We 
set up a few Gmail accounts, and those will do the trick for now.  I can use 
fetchmail to collect them on my own mail server, and her office account is 
browser accessible, eliminating any dependency on her ISP until they 
stabilize.  We'll visit domains another time - this needed to be quick and 
simple.

Again, Thanks,
Dan
