I have my own email address with my own incoming mail server but I use Gmail (Google mail) to act as my outgoing mail server. That way I have a seperate back-up of all my sent emails. Excellent spam filter. Last time I tried Livemail I found it a bit clunky whilst using on a marina wi-fi network, but it had just been launched. I'm sure it's improved somewhat.
You could also consider using Thunderbird. You install it on your machine like a normal email client (a la MS Outlook). Then when you don't have internet access on your laptop you can replicate Thunderbird and its contents on a memory stick, go into an internet cafe, plug it in and use as if you were on your own computer. When you're done, you save and unplug, plug back into your laptop and it syncronises.
