But seriously, can someone, who is NOT presently at the university, send messages out, from home, from another computer/laptop ? I don't know of any college/university, that isn't closed, locked up, during long vacations.

What about those VPN thingies...Virtual Private Network...remote access to account on university server from offsite of university property?

I don't even understand what you're talking about...that's how little I know about this stuff. LOL
