Using a Tungsten C to access POP3 email
 
I have a Tungsten "C" that I have been using to access email remotely when I travel. Up until recently, I was using a website called Mail2PDA.com, which is designed to allow easy POP3 remote email access and format the results for small screens like the "C". Everything was working great.

A couple of weeks ago, something changed. While I can still access and read my email remotely, when I try to delete messages, I get an error message telling me my connection has timed out and I have to re-login.

The folks at Mail2PDA (who also operate Mail2Web.com) say they have not made any changes to their site. MY ISP claims the same thing. I have not made any changes to My "C".

Does anyone know of a website similar to Mail2PDA.com I can try?

Thanks

Do you have a yahoo mail account that you can foward your mail to? I use my Tungsten C with my yahoo mail account with no problem.

It also works fine with my Speakeasy IMAP account- IMAP is inifintely better than POP3 if you check your email from a few different computers, so I'd recommend ditching the POP access.

Yahoo mail I just access through the webbrowser, and my IMAP account through the Mail program that came with my Tungsten.

My setup works fine with Yahoo, hotmail, etc.

The problem is this is an old POP3 acct with few features that I will dump at some point. Right now, if I forward POP3 email to Yahoo, original messages stay in the POP3 acct until deleted. That is the reason mail2pda works so well. I could read and delete the messages I don't need, so my mailbox won't overflow while I travel. That's why I need a replacement for mail2pda.com.

Or perhaps there is a way to fix this issue that I have not ben able to figure out. Anyone out there have a Tungsten "C"?
