Hi
Well, the instructions below worked fine (DET-1 is the "original"
model, I guess!)
Now I have a new problem. I am using the unit to access a POP3
account (deluxe version of Yahoo! mail) and so I entered in
pop.mail.yahoo.com for the POP3 setting. And of course
smtp.mail.yahoo.com for the outgoing server setting.
Guess who can receive mail on his Mailstation, but not send it!
The Yahoo help site says that "some Internet service providers will
block port 25. If you experience technical problems sending email,
then you will need to use port 587 when sending via Yahoo!'s SMTP
server."
Ug...I have no idea whether that's the real problem, and if it is,
how to go about changing the port!
Any one have ideas??
Thanks

Maybe you could try configuring your desktop client to dial up and talk
to Yahoo. If that doesn't work then the port is probably blocked, in
which case you'll need to find a proxy server which will forward your
SMTP packets.
For a more direct test, you can usually use telnet (on desktop) to
connect to arbitrary TCP ports, in this case 25. Try hittng enter, or
HELO (or ELHO?) you should get a response from the server. If you are
able to connect and get a response then your ISP is not blocking port
25.
Not sure how to change the port (if it's possible at all)

Two possibilities - smtp.mail.yahoo.com isn't the outgoing system, OR the
password is wrong. Neither SHOULD be possible, but strange things do happen.
I was able to hook one of these up to my ISP OK.

Have you tried putting in a host name of smtp.mail.yahoo.com:547 (or
whatever that other port # was?)
