Nice one Thomas, I can't wait to see your ugly mug when you get an
iSight! But seriously I am glad I could help, because guess what, your
suggestion about switching to an older version of SimpleMail did the
trick and I can now receive email, yey!!!!!!
Talking about whether or not I feel like a geek using my Newton is a
moot point especially because email is one of the brig draws to the
Newton for me. And until now I couldn't get it working, but thanks in
no little part to Thomas, I can use my Newton to help me organise my
life. Which is the point of the little green friend. Isn't it?
Shouldn't the question be, are you an organised geek or just a geek?
Kind regards
Anil K Solanki.
