Re: [NTLK] Any tips on using Mail V? This is my first email o

Actually, SimpleMail was the original Email written by Simon Bell and it was
only pop3. Mail V was the next Email client Simon wrote and was originally
only good with imap. Later versions of Mail V added pop3 support. I used
SimpleMail for several years with my local free net using pop3 and smtp over
my wifi card. I only stopped using it when the free net was black listed for
trouble with spammers and at the same time I received a Nokia 770 as a gift.
So I switched from SimpleMail on my 2100 with the free net to my Nokia and a
Gmail account. For more information see:
http://homepage.mac.com/simonbell/simplemail/
and
http://homepage.mac.com/simonbell/mailv/index.html

I have heard that Mail V has a memory leak but I have no first hand
knowledge of that. I do know that at the time I started with SimpleMail that
Mail V was not supporting pop3 so after trying several other email programs
(Eudora etc.) I found SimpleMail, installed it and found it to be fantastic.
Thanks again Simon. I remember when Mail V came out with a pop3 version but
I was happy with SimpleMail and saw no reason to change. Seeing how Mail V
is also written by Simon Bell, I can't think of it being anything but
fantastic. I only bring up this point to keep the record straight.

Unfortunately when I stopped using my Newton for Email and browsing, I
removed most of those packages to free up memory. I only retained Newtscape
(another fine product) incase I need to download a package from my personal
web server or for book creation/reading. Otherwise I would send you the
settings I used with the free net. But I imagine that RAParker, using Yahoo
himself, can probably help you more than my memories. I just wanted everyone
to be straight on SimpleMail.

I'm very sure, if you want to access POP, you will need to be using Mail V.
Unload Simple Mail, completely. Work with Mail V, do not mix the
apps/extensions with different versions of Simple Mail & Mail V. I can't
imagine that this going to help and I'm guessing it will cause you problems.
Get rid of Simple Mail and install Mail V properly.
