Ouch. That hurt... I'd forgotten I'd changed that account's pwd couple
weeks ago. Well, we learn from our mistakes (darn, didn't want to learn so
much this week, though!) All's swell now, long live Simon Bell!

I still maintain that the Guide isn't very walk-me-through-it. But that's
what above linked Wiki-page is for, which has already been updated.

Thanks, Zac! But even in that case I'd expect them to have separate names

send mail, then get error 999 when trying to receive. Methinks 999 come
from Newtie no go POP because WRONG PASSWORD, me moron. Now all well.

such as pop.mymail.net and smtp.mymail.net and possibly separate logon
attempts. Anyhow, the riddle is solved.
now two text stationaries on my MP - one of 12 KB (SimpleMail's "Scroll by
line/by page"-pref), one of 4 KB (telling me "Tapping this does nothing").
uses this (ActionNames, MPG, ICS NewtCase, GPSMap, Newt's Weather,
NewtVNC... ???).
is there any way to resolve that conflict? (Maybe by using ICS Text Editor
-- dead link on the SimpleMail page, though... Empty page linked through
<http://www.newts.com>http://www.newts.com, too... Not even Archive.org
delivers -- they have the download page, but not the package... UNNA
doesn't know that one, either... )
