My mother had mailstation several years ago but stopped it. She
wishes to restart it however in doing searching on the net I don't
find much - I get sent to earthlink who apparently now operates
it. The monthly cost for an earthlink account is over $20. Does
earthlink still support mailstation and if so what is the monthly
charge. Don't want to go the computer route for her as mailstation
is confusing enough.
Thanks,
Lyn L

It's possible it may be able to use another ISP - possibly a free one. What
exact model and ROM does it have?
See the files in our files section.
BTW, I suspect that EarthStation will bail out on this system in the near
future.

I don't know how much longer Earthlink will continue to support it, but
the Mailstation can be used with other Internet Service Providers
(ISP). There are instructions on changing its settings in the files
sections of this group.
You might want to look into low-cost ISP in your area, or perhaps even
a local small-business ISP. While $20 per month is pretty standard,
there are a few places offering dial-up access for about $10 per month,
including an email mailbox, which the Mailstation can access.
Hope this helps,
