Accessing e-mail in Entourage from another computer

When I installed Entourage 2008, it created an e-mail account using my e-mail server supanet and gobbled up all my e-mails. Obviously I could delete this account, but is there a way of accessing these e-mails from another computer? If I did delete this account, would my e-mails be lost?

Well it depends on the setup you have. For IMAP and Exchange accounts,
the e-mails are stored on the server anyway, so they are accessible from
any computer.

For POP accounts, it depends on your options. You can have the account
set either to delete e-mails from the server once downloaded on your Mac
(and then they will obviously not still be available from another Mac),
or set to keep a copy (marked as read usually) of the e-mails on the
server for xxx days. In the later situation, you might have a shot,

I did not set up the account in the first place. It was automatically set up when I installed Entourage and was not set to keep copy on server. I have since rectified this, so assume the others cannot be accessed from another computer. This is all academic, because I am quite unable to send messages from Entourage, and have said this in another message. When I click send, I am told that the server is busy, down, error code 111, but there is nothing wrong with the server.
