I have never been able to have my Newton "see" my laptop with airport
on. What settings do I need to make on both the laptop and on the
Newton, and how do I initiate the transfer?

type (is .mac IMAP?).

I try to receive mail from my .mac account. at some point i have a
small window on the newton screen that says "connected". if i tap the
close or stop or whatever button is on it, nothing happens, except that
it goes to the pulsing star. when i have the pulsing star i tap on it,
Mail V is in the menu, i tap on that and i get a small window on my
screen that says "connected", but as far as i can tell nothing else is
happening. as i mention above i cannot get rid of this "connected"
box.
