What I do is tell people to get a UUCP gateway program (I usually recommend spinmail because nobody ever calls me for help when they use it - http://www.spinmail.com - i think there is another one called tenfour but Im not sure the URL). This way they poll x number of times an hour or day and drop of and grab their mail via phone lines.
