how to access mail remotely

How can I access my mac.com or me.com email from a different computer, such as in a hotel lobby? Other posts have suggested simply logging onto me.com or icloud.com and then "sign in to mail." Whenever I log onto me.com or icloud.com, I get taken to an icloud welcome page that gives me several options for installing an icloud account. there is no option for signing into mail. Obviously, I don't want to install anything on a hotel computer, even if I could! Any ideas for how to access mail?

If you go to www.icloud.com you should get this screen

Once you sign in using your Apple ID you should have access to your iCloud data including mail sent to you iCloud email address.

Is this not what you see?

Hi Frank - What you show in your screenshot is not what I see when I go to icloud.com. What I see is a window that gives three different options: 1. Install icloud on this device. 2. Install find my phhone. 3. Install find my friends. There does not appear to be any way to access email without going through some installation process. If you go to some random PC, such as at a local Motel 6, you are likely to see the same thing. BBecause icloud is supposedly just a website, this seems very odd.

Is this from an iOS device or from a normal computer?
