A version of the appliance is sold under the name Home-m@il
in Argentina by spanish company "Telefonica"

It's almost the same as the U.S: M.Station but the menus and some
keys are in spanish and doesnt have neither a spell checker nor
a yahoo item.

It allows user to set their own tel.numbers, isp and mail accounts.
The seller said the company "Telefonica" bought an excessive quantity
of the units and now they are putting down prices to get rid of them.
They initially sold it at 299, then 199 and now 89$.

I bought one at $89 and had a look to the inside.
It has two thin sheets of aluminium in contact with the board ¿For shielding?
I didnt try to remove the internal screws i was afraid to broke something.

Perhaps they havent activated the account yet but it doesnt seem to work
¿Does it take long for activating?

Has your account been activiated?

If you don't have a "mymailstation" account, do this, use the dialin number for you ISP, and set the email address to a pop server. If you need help ask.

Your not missing much on the spell checker. It is very slow. What happens when you use the spell checking button?

The spell check key was replaced by the zoom key.
The three small keys in the upper right corner of the keyboard are as follows:

Mailstation: [ @ ] [ a->A ] [Check Spelling]
Home-M@il: [ @ ] [ Ü ] [ Zoom ]

The zoom has the same function as [ a -> A ]

It also has keys for typing the spanish accents for vowels á é í ó ú
and "eñe" letter ñ (eh-nyeh)
They are typed by pressing fctn and the vowels or n.

I tried to get mail from yahoo through my isp but it dind`t work.
It logs in into the account but fails when trying the pop3 account. I think i should have
a pop3 account with my isp provider
(i haven't one becouse i'm sharing the account with a friend, don't tell anyone)

Seeing the number of things that are changed on the spanish language version, it makes me think that these machines can be changed by flash bios upgrades.

On Yahoo accounts, I am using a yahoo account on my mailstation, so it definitely does work.

Check your configuration. How did you set up the POP and SMPT fields? The problem might be there.

They problem was that the provider company
hadn't activated the account. First there was another
user with the same usrname i wanted, and that caused
trouble.
I took me a week of phone calls and visits to the
seller but by now they activated it and it works fine.
