What method would you recommend using to be able to send mail through the Visor/Samsung combo?

My ISP provides web-based email. Would that be an option? I don't know what I can realistically expect as far as display on the Visor (for webpages I mean)

I use QNC (Sprint) to log into my local ISP and use Eudora e-mail on my Visor (with Sprint cellphone). Works great.

If you have a free yahoo account, all you have to do
is use the following in your mail program:

incoming: pop.mail.yahoo.com
outgoing: smtp.mail.yahoo.com

How do you enable the service? Is it a pay feature? I have a free yahoo mail acct but can't sign-on and get pop mail from outlook express or eudora, nor can I send anything. Please explain.

rmapes...

how do you connect your Visor and your cell?

Let me clarify...you can check email with the Eudora mail client (for the Palm)? Do you also use the Eudora Palm browser? Can you use both Mail and Internet without disconnecting?

pelase help me out as I don't want to buy 3 or 4 cables just to figure out the right combo.

I have the Prism and a Samsung 3500

pop works, smtp doesn't.

Thanks, I got the pop3 side working, but I can't seem to get it to work sending, but thanx for the info about the feature. I've used yahoo mail for years and never knew this existed, always used the PQA to look at my yahoo mail.

Thanx again,

creole,


I have a Prism, a Sprint 1100 Touchpoint cellphone with a Sprint wireless web cable (for the phone),a mark/space cable that I modified to bridge the DSR pin (mark/space has since made the same modified cable available), Eudora for Palm for e-mail, and I use the QNC feature to fast connect to Sprint. I get my e-mail through my local ISP e-mail account (pop3 server). I use Blazer to surf the internet (very fast and the color is 16 bit - very crisp)also with QNC to fast connect. And Oh yeah, I shortened both cables to 6" each.

When people post their scenarios, I sometimes have a difficult time picturing it. You don't have any way of takign a picture of the hookup do you?

The trick to sending Yahoo mail is that you must receive to unlock the account. If you simply try to send, Yahoo will not validate your password. Try receiving first and then immediately do a send.

Almost there but not quite

I have a prism and a motorola startac 7867 through sprint pcs. I have a wireless web connection kit and I pay the fee for wireless web serve. I also have a markspace dch-m9 cable. I have ATT Worldnet as my ISP.

I set all the settings as other 7867 users have suggested, and actually got to the point where my phone was dialing the number after I hit "connect" on the prism. The prism screen then said "connecting," and then I got the following message: "authentication failure 0x1233."

I did use the password that I always use for ATT, so I am perplexed. Has anyone else run into this problem? Does anyone have a solution. Thanks in advance for any help you can offer!

Yahoo Mail

Alright, I have a supplynet cable and I can get onto Sprint's internet service and log onto Yahoo to receive my mail, but it won't let me send it using Yahoo's smtp server. Every time, it connects to the server, addresses the letter, and then gives me an error message that I must be pop-authenticated first(at least that's what I think it says, the message is cut off). The thing is, I have checked my mail previously, so I should be Pop-authenticated. I've tried fiddling with Eudora's security settings but that doesn't seem to do anything.

How should I have it set up?

Really? Why not?

And are there any workarounds to that?

see why sending mail would be a problem?

Like I said, whether or not I receive first, I get an error message on sending mail. How should Eudora be set up?
