I figured out how to get into the setup menu on my Mailstation 350.

Remove the batteries and use only the ac adapter to power the unit.

Perform a reset to factory default settings by pressing and holding
down the keys <Function + D> and power up. Select Yes when asked to
restore to factory settings.

During the message "Please wait while system resets" unplug the ac
adapter. This corrupts the settings in memory so that the unit will
now only bring up the setup menu.

The setup menu asks for User Name, Dial Up Number, Reply to address,
and E-mail address. There is also a Network settings button that
appears in the menu. Unfortunatly it will not let you put in an e-
mail address or allow you to go to the Network menu. I'm guessing
there is some combination of keystrokes or some hidden way to allow
access to those settings but I haven't been able to figure it out.

That's exactly what I think 99% of the group is looking to change. getting=
the newer ones to perform email on any given POP3 system is the prize. Th=
e older white ones are changeable but the blue non wireless and the 350 wir=
eless 900 MHz models are locked into one ISP. I'm starting to think they w=
ould have to be sent in and reflashed on the bench or a ROM changed to chan=
ge those settings.

This setup menu looks quite similar to the "mailstation setup"
menu that is accessible under the normal mode main menu item
"setup", then "mailstation". Except for the erased account
info, that is.

Neither of the two will let you enter/change the email address.

To get out of the infinite loop of it insisting I fill in
"all the items", but not letting me enter one of them, I
reset to factory settings again (and let it finish this time).

seems as if the email address may be changed by a mime message sent to
the reset mailstation's default address.

It seemed from that thread there was some kind of encryption key.

Not that it can't be cracked... The question is if anyone the the skill
to do so wishes to look at it (I am no crypto expert).

If experience holds, they probably are only doing an encoding, and not
real encryption, but they could be.

Has anyone looked around for the email maintenance routines?
