Hello,

I have a blue Mailstation 150 that I picked up at Office Max for $9.
Last night I tried the "Ctrl + D, reset button & power off" method of
modifying the ISP info and it works great. Thanks to all of you for
your effort and for sharing your results with us!

Initially I was hoping to use the Mailstation to monitor my incoming
email (from the kitchen or wherever.) But then I realized that the
Mailstation most likely will delete messages from the email server
after retrieving them. That's not good - I want all my messages on my
main computer, and I don't want to lose any photos people might send.

So now I'm thinking of other ways I can use it:

- to send quick text messages without using my main computer
- to write/send memos to myself
- I can use it pretty much anywhere since it's so portable
- for spare parts

What about everyone else? Have you discovered any handy uses for your
Mailstation?

Thanks!
Jeff

I believe that's an option you can set.

I use vintage laptops everyday, the mailstation is probably faster and
has more storage space than any of them.

Hi Neil,

If you find this option could you let me know? I looked through all
of the Mailstation 150 menus and couldn't find it.

Thanks!

On mine it's the second option "Save message copy on Server".

My guess is that I must have a different firmware version than yours.
The Settings window looks like this:

Settings XTND: On V4.05D.
User Name:
Dial-Up No:
Reply-To:
Email Address:
Automatically Check Mail < >
Auto Check Time __:__
Do you have call waiting ? < >
Ignore dial tone when dialing ? < >
Battery Status: xxx Current Time: xx:xx

The User Settings ("Details") window looks like this:

User Name:
Dial-Up No:
Reply To:
E-Mail Address:
E-Mail Password:
POP3 Server:
SMTP Server:
ISP Account:

What firmware version do you have?

Thanks,
Jeff

It all about the timing. You have to get it just right
when you try to corrupt the flash memory. You got to
do it right after it delete the old data and before it
write new data back to the flash memory. You may have
to try 10 ... 20 time. Good luck,
