Click a desktop icon to access my e-mail?

[shoesup]

I am using Windows XP Home. Recently I switched to a new internet service. In order to check my e-mail I must go the providers web page then click on "Get My E-Mail". I then get a pop-up window that asks me to choose what e-mail address / account to open. When I choose my specific account, I click on the login button and I can then access my e-mail.

Question: Is there any way that I can set up an icon on my desktop where all I have to do is click on that icon and it will go directly to my e-mail? That is bypassing going through the providers web page and all the other steps?

Please help.

Thank you.

You can put an icon on your desktop that will take you directly to the pop-up windows, but it sounds like you will have to go through the rest because that's how your e-mail provider wants it.

If your e-mail provider supports POP3 or IMAP you may be able to set up your account in an e-mail client like Outlook Express.
