Yes, ypu can use any of the mail systems that support POP3 (Post Office Protocol 3) such as Outlook or Thunderbird. The details are found at http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=13273

That will only work if you are using your own laptop. If you are using the ship's computers, you can't do it.

Keep in mind when you are at sea that the internet connection is very SLOW!! Like almost back to dial up speed days. We would spend 5 to 7 minutes just getting to our e-mail site when trying some days. I would recommend at least buying 30 minutes worth.

I want to thank all those that have responded to my question.
