Create the NDS Mail Email Configuration
NDS Mail uses an xml file (called NDSMAIL.XML) to record the various email accounts you want to access.
In order to use hotmail/ gmail, You'll need the location of your POP Server and Port, Username/Password, SMTP Server and Port and your MailAddress.
This information can be found in your email program as follows:
- If you use Outlook Express or Windows Mail select Tools | Accounts then highlight a mail account and click the Properties button. The majority of the information you require in on the Server tab of the dialog that opens.
- If you use Outlook select Tools | Email Accounts then highlight a Mail account and click the Properties button, the majority of the information you require in on the Email Accounts dialog of the dialog that opens.
Hotmail
Use these settings to access your Hotmail account. As of Oct 2009 Hotmail gives an error: "SSL_Connect returned:-8"
POP server: pop3.live.com (Port 995) POP SSL required? Yes User name: Your Windows Live ID, for example [email protected] Password: The password you usually use to sign in to Hotmail or Windows Live SMTP server: smtp.live.com (Port 25)
Gmail
POPServer="pop.gmail.com" POPPort="995" User="[email protected]" Pass="your_password" SMTPServer="smtp.gmail.com" SMTPPort="465" MailAddress="[email protected]" RealName="Your name" SSL="1"
Common Problems and Known Issues
If it can not connect to the access point:
- disable WEP
- disable packet fragmentation
- make sure your SSID is visible
- check if wifi_lib_test can connect
If non-alphanumeric characters, such as ", ', <, >, are used in password field, can cause NDSMail to crash.
If NDSMail crashes with FAT support enabled, disable it.
