*         As a very green subscriber could someone advise me? I have a
*  new gmail account which I am trying to use with my 5mx and a Nokia
*  6230 phone. I have tried various settings for POP3 and while it
*  achieves 'connection to internet' the 'connection to mailbox' is
*  always timed out. Can anyone recommend settings or ha the latest
*  technology superceeded 5mx capabilities? By the way, Yahoo uk pop3 is
*  working well.

Hello Richard,

I think it isn't possible to reach a GMail address with a Psion.
The solution is:
- Go to your Gmail address and forward the incoming mail to an other mail address which you can reach with your Psion.
- Make an other setting in the 5MX which tells the sender that you sent that mail for the GMail address, but you sent it by an other SMPT (POP3)-server

Success.

Regards,

Kees.

Hallo!

Just discovered this, looks like a great idea: http://www.media-convert.com/It seems it is a site which offers free conversions of hundreds of document formats in others. Psion formats seem to be missing, though...

Anyone any experience with it?

Wouldn't it be a good idea for you programming-savvy people here to have a look?

best,

vlad a

I agree with you, Itamar: I write only the briefest notes on my Nokia 9300i (of course, this is smaller than a 9500).

I'm currently using a 3-box solution: 9300i + 5mx + MalayBook. But I have the vague intention of reducing this to 9300i + MB with 5mx for occasional use when I'm travelling light.
