Yes I agree, but the OP specifically said he was using an MP2100.

Again if I remember right, the heap requirements for MailV are too much for a 1x0 Newton.  And Simple Mail might be too much even for a 120 after you add the Internet stack.  Been a while since I have tried, so again I might be mistaken.

>> Marisa’s choice is likely best; I use EarthLink, which (like Marisa’s) also does not use SSL, which the Newton can’t handle. It is about $18 a month (and is also a web portal); I have been availing myself of its services since 1999, when it was much cheaper and also known as MindSpring. Last I heard, Marisa’s is free to use.
>> Many here in NTLK employ MailV for Newton email, including the inestimable Noah Leon, creator of the excellent and award-winning film “Love Notes to Newton.” I also send and receive mail from my MP2100, from time to time.
