    Yahoo: Server Name: pop.att.yahoo.com port: 995 pop3 has to be activated in the Yahoo Mail options(on the PC, not on Dash or Chumby)

    what is yahoo server name?

    @lvmykyds I was able to get this working with my AOL account using the following settings. Incoming mail server name: pop.aol.com Port: 995 Username: (Your AOL username, everything BEFORE the "@aol.com") Password: (Your AOL Password) The first time I loaded this up, I had to pin the widget as it took almost five minutes to load the entire inbox, after that it was much faster.

    Anyone get this working with AOL mail? If so how?

    Is there ANYONE @ Chumby listening? IMAP? When?

    hello es DUANE in the chumby-forum wrote it is usefull to write a comment to improve this application. in germany al or at least the most mails include umlaut (like ä,ö,ü) but when i try to display a mail with these characters some of the following and the character itlself will not be displayed. i do not know what to change, but i hope it can be done

    I love my Infocast and would love it even more if I could check my Yahoo and Hotmail msgs. These products are fantastic but the companies behind them aren't helping their customers.

    No TLS/SSL = no use. Sad.

    Chumby how about replying to the email also, instead of just viewing them

  • vidl

    Hello. IMAP? When? It's stopping me buying more Chumbies...

  • SteveInWA

    One more vote for SSL encryption support for the e-mail widget. This is necessary for MS Hotmail/Live Mail.

  • michael.moser

    – June 01 2010

    My mail server requires an SSL connection. This doesn't seem to be supported or is there some way to enable that? Or is there a similar widget that supports SSL?

  • vidl

    So, WHEN are we going to get an IMAP version? It's not like it's major work chaps !!!

  • sptcox

    – March 01 2010

    This was working well for me before the update - but now I get signed in and page display says 1/2, but no messages displayed.

  • Forwarder78

    – February 27 2010

    One of the best widgets after the Update !

  • spunk_

    – February 27 2010

    excellent update of the widget....

  • vilxes91

    – February 26 2010

    Oh yeah!! What a great surprise! I wasn't specting such a great improvement in this widget!! Really, thanks very much, this is the widget I use the most...

  • vidl

    – February 20 2010

    So, are we going to get an IMAP version? Cheers!

  • shancb9

    i have no idea of the port server

    Before I use this widget: Who will store my username and password? And where?

  • bolika

    Is there any way I can scroll messages?

  • ajw95

    I don't want this nonsense. This is what telephones are for.

    I have AOL and have tried to access my e-mail from my Chumby-one. I need to know what server to put in and which port to list. thanks

  • steelpaw

    – November 01 2009

    It shows my Yahoo messages, but it shows (what I think is) all the HTML markup as well, making messages so difficult to read as to be more or less useless.

  • iomega7

    – November 01 2009

    I customize my Chumby to read my Hotmail messages. It did it one time and since then, the Chumby no longer works with my hotmail account. The folks at Chumby need to look at this.

  • colindino

    – January 24 2009

    For some reason I get the oldest 5 messages. How do I at least see the last 5 messages?

  • Tamura6

    I have hotmail and get an error message

  • rfowler

    – December 26 2008

    I keep getting a "Error opening mailbox" message.

  • waverider

    – December 24 2008

    how do I scroll down to display more e-mail messages other then the top 5 mails

  • samprass

    web mail?

  • denzprice

    how do i set up email viewer?

  • kliehm

    – October 25 2008

    Always get an "error opening mailbox". Since there is no option to configure the connection type (like SSL) and port I assume that's the reason.

  • enalposi

    – August 10 2008

    Wow, looks like someone fixed this overnight. The error is gone and now receiving domain mail just fine. Thanks! :)

  • enalposi

    – August 09 2008

    What about gmail domain name support? Please add this. It should be a simple matter of parsing the login for an @ sign and not adding gmail.com in that case. 5 min hack... ;) Thanks!

  • beth epstein

    ignore my comment,for another widet, oops.

  • beth epstein

    I opened a gmail account but when i open the widget it reads error opening mailbox.

    suzi9874, It's a POP3 reader and will not support IMAP servers.

  • Aussieguy

    – March 27 2008

    Contact Customer support if you're having issues. They will help you get it working.

  • ressmann

    – March 24 2008

    I tried it with a POP3-enabled Inbox. I just get a black screen and the widget tries to contact the box. Where is the problem?

  • suzi9874

    – March 13 2008

    anyone get this to work with AOL? i am using imap.aol.com and port 143 with my user name/pw combos, and no luck. thanks in advance :)

  • chumbydude

    – February 24 2008

    I can't get this thing to load!!! If you ask me I'm gonna try the other programs or make my own. I think they can do much better!

  • marcmenem

    – January 25 2008

    I think it fails it fails on Gmail because gmail requires secure POP authentication.

  • tonygill99

    – January 23 2008

    I use this widget a lot and it's great, but it would be so much better if it would display more than the last 5 messages and could display the text of HTML messages. Plus it's quite unstable, and opening a message regularly crashes my Chumby. Please, keep working on it to make it better and more reliable!

  • xrobevansx

    – January 19 2008

    gmail. please.

  • Muffindog

  • Variador47

    – December 12 2007

    Enabled POP3 for my Gmail, entered all info including port #. Error in logging on. Tried and double checked everything I could think of. Did anyone get this to work with Gmail? Thank You

  • yeah

    – December 10 2007

    how do you make this work with gmail?

  • nkriger

    – December 07 2007

    how do you view more than the first couple of messages???

  • tonygill99

    – November 29 2007

    The new message body viewer is a HUGE improvement! Next, how about adding a scroll bar to the inbox, to allow the display of more than the last 5 messages?
