Ok, i have a device called the eMessage which is EXACTLY like the Mailstation, but the unit itself is white, and you can edit the pop/smtp/DNS/dialup number information in the extras/users fields, which MailStations cannot do.

I believe this eMessage (which was sold by PacBell/made by Cidco) machine was an earlier version of the Mailstation. I do think that you can use your own email account with this device because the pop3/smtp fields are editable. I cannot try this out because I do not have an ISP (I am using a free, banner driven ISP, which does not have DNS numbers readilly availible).

Can anyone help me? Perhaps if someone can get this to work with your own email account, the BIOS can be duped and the MailStation BIOS can be flashed with this BIOS.

email me at mrvcd@juno.com

I recently aquired (via eBay), an older MailStation. Physically it's identical to current MailStations, except the badge on the upper-left says "Cidco" instead of "MailStation". More importantly though, the firmware is a quite a bit different. There's no Yahoo! icon (no big loss), and when you press Extras -> Users, you get a nice row of five user icons with "New User" under the unused ones. Press New, and you get a nice blank screen with all the ISP/SMTP/POP3 info just ready to be typed in!

In fact, here's an eBay auction going on right now of one of these older units. Look at the photo to see what I've described...

My eMessage is happily reading email on one of my ISP accounts, but not on the other ISP account. I like the form of the machine as a mini laptop for reading messages, and sending messages to myself that can be inserted into a normal document.

What is your experience about messages larger than 8 k and HTML messages. Instead of getting the message, I receive a notice that the message was to big. (just like the setup screen suggest would happen) The problem that I have is the machine does not "reject" the message so that it is still available on the server. The "too large" messages have also been removed from the server.

Also, when the emessage is downloading email it will say something like "Downloading email 3 of 7, 0 rejected." What does rejected mean if not messages rejected because they are larger than 8 k or HTLM?

MrVcd. You can find out the DNS servers for almost any domain by going to samspade.org and entering the www.whatever.com in the first first.

Juno's DNS servers according to samspade are:

NS.NYC.JUNO.COM 64.136.6.163
NS.BOSTON.JUNO.COM 64.136.25.53
NS.JERSEY.JUNO.COM 64.136.17.178

So enter those DNS #s and that you shoould hook you up.
