[NTLK] Mail V madness

Still here. But not able to use the MP the way I want because of the lack of
simple/stable connectivity to my moderninsh Win7 PC and because everything I
am near requires SSL. Oh what I would (would have?) paid for USB
connectivity and SSL-savvy apps.

eMate 300 x 2
emate 300 4mb x 1
MP2000U 4mb RAM and accelerated (thanks Woody)
MP130 I am afraid to turn on, the timebomb is still in it.

I used to use Fastmail (fastmail.co.uk) with my Newton - however, they now
seem to have switched off all of the non-SSL ports, rendering them pretty
much useless to me. However, coincidentally my "normal" mail account now
works properly from the Newton in non-SSL mode, so long as you use port 587
for the smtp server. So, you could also have at


imap.aim.com:143
smtp.aim.com:587


if you have an old @netscape.net or @aim.com email address.


Lots of ISPs now seem to divert port 25 to their own email servers, which is
fine and dandy with a desktop machine at home but a pain if you want to have
an email set up that works whether you're at home or roaming with a mifi
device...


Cheers,


- Tony

+1.  This is the service I use and I've never had any real problems with
it, though it can sometimes be slow to send to Gmail addresses and it's
blacklisted by Craigslist.  Otherwise great though!
