rstand.
ich they say POP3 and SMPT Server.
+T keys,
Server follow fixed there,

I have models with firmware ver=
sions 2.22R, 2.52R and 2.53YR,
and they do *not* allow you to set the pop3 =
or the smtp
server fields (even with the sh-fn-T flash test method).

I als=
o have models with higher firmware versions, such as
2.54Y, 2.55Y, 3.03a, 4=
.03M, 4.04B, 4.04E, 4.05D, and 4.05E,
and I am pretty sure that all of thos=
e can be set to any
server, using the various methods listed elsewhere.

My=
guess is that the "R" means that the server is "restricted",
(or some othe=
r word that starts with R and means similar thing). :-)

Since i'm on subje=
ct of firmware version numbers, it doesen't
seem to big a stretch that the=
"Y" stands for the "Yahoo" tie in.

Making some wilder guesses, the 4.04M =
is a Mivo 200.
3.03a is the revised 3.03, with "new color" (ivory as oppose=
d
to brown).

4.04B might be a revision of the 4.04 (if there even is a 4.=
04
or 4.04A), or else it might just mean "blue case".

Wilder still guesse=
s, perhaps the "D" and "E" stand for domestic
and export??????????

If anyo=
ne has any firmware versions that are not in the table
in the database area=
of group, feel free to add yours!

Wel=
l, that didn't work too good. It was supposed to be a link to
the table, t=
hat was sorted on the firmware version field.

If you manage to find it any=
way, and you sort on that field, it
will put them in roughly chronological =
order. Except for the
1.xx versions (250 & 350) which I think came out som=
ewhere
between the 2.xx and 4.xx. I don't have any idea why they are
not i=
n sequence with others.
