Mindspring Account Working

I heard someone say someone they knew had gotten mindspring email working on the mailstation, anyone know if this is true. Or if it is doable with another ISP, i would LOVE the mailstation so much if i could check my own mail with it.

What you read was an out of context quote, I looked up the original article (which I can't remember what it was now) - The person who did the original review got their mindspring email to work with the Mailstation service - not that the mailstation was using the mindspring account (ie the mailstation service works by using pop3 to "forward" mail from your regular email account to the mailstation account).

If you're talking about the "gadgeteer" interview, she actually did get her Mindspring account working. Somehow, she got a Mailstation that allowed editing the POP3 and SMTP server specifications in the User settings. That's what she told me. My Mailstation can not edit those lines, nor can any of the others that I've heard about. I don't know how old her Mailstation was, but it's different from the one I have.

Ratster: That's the first I've heard of anyone actually editing the ISP info in the Mailstation. Usually it's just mail forwarding (like Jaak said).

So you actually HAVE one of these beasties?! What are you waiting for.. open that puppy up, take some pictures, and put them up for viewing. C'mon.. let's see those insides. Any unpopulated pads? Debug ports? Jumpers?

I have a MailStation, yes, but I have not cracked it open yet. Not being much of a hardware guy, I wouldn't know what I was looking at if I did crack it open. I've actually been waiting for Codeman to post his pictures (like he's been saying he'll do for some time now :).

Besides, my little Panasonic EggCam takes really grainy pictures. I'm sure someone out there has gotten one of these things and has a digital camera that's worth a damn. If you're reading this, whoever you are, wanna volunteer? I'll send you a screwdriver... :)
