[NTLK] Mail V; Voice Recorder

[Rufus Kohn]

Hi Forrest,

Do you know of a setup to get mail running on a 2100?
What kind of mail account would work?
How do I get the 2100 online
I have an Ethernet card
A WiFi card wavelan silver
A DLink router set to minimum security, dedicated for the Newton
All the software available

I am sorry because I am positively certain this subject has been discussed many times but this old noob has missed those discussions 


Met vriendelijke groet,
 
Rufus Kohn

I connected up an older Dell Latitude, an Iogear GUC-232A and the Newton’s cable and dongle to re-install Mail V and all its various parts.

After several hours deleting and re-entering the email parts of my Owner Info and fussing around the settings I was able to get it to work, although I have NO idea what I did finally that was so much different than what I had been doing.

> While it seems to work okay now, I am perplexed about one thing: no matter what I do, the email name in the Mail V Assistant says “-no email-“. It correctly lists the incoming and outgoing server information under the also-correct name of the email. Simply put, it looks like this:
