Email

Here is a little help that shows you how to set an account for nPOP in order to send and receive emails.
This is not a review of the product neither a help on how to use it, simply a help to set it.
It works for me and there is no reasons that it should not works on your machine. I set the program in less than 5 minutes.
Before starting, please be sure to have all the necessary information given by your email provider (this include your login name, password, pop and smtp server names, connection login name and password).
The HP Dial-up should also have be already set.
The addresses used in this help are my addresses, so do not set your account with my addresses, it will not work.

• Download the file here (select the file "Windows CE 2.11 and later (MIPS, SH-3, SH-4, StrongARM)"
• Use Winzip in order to open it.
• Run "ActiveSync" and click on the "Explore" icon
• On the Jornada, create a new sub-folder called nPOP under "\Program files"
• Drag and drop from Winzip the file "npop.exe" (ARM version) to the sub-folder "nPOP" of the Jornada.

• On your Jornada, open the folder "\Program Files\nPOP" and select the file "nPOP.exe"
• To create a shortcut on your desktop, simply copy the selected file by using the menu "Copy" or use "CTRL+C", then open the folder "\Windows\Desktop" and use the function "Paste Shortcut" from the menu. Now you have an icon on your desktop. To create a shortcut on the main menu (under the Start button --> Program), repeat the action above, but instead of pasting the shortcut under "\Windows\Desktop", simply paste it under "\Windows\Program" sub-folder.
• To run the program, tap on the desktop icon, or use the "Start --> Program" Menu.

3) Settings

The first time the program runs, you are prompted to enter the parameters of your account:

POP3 TAB:

Account:
This is the name you want to give for this account (you can create multiple accounts).
POP3 server:
The most common time, this string is composed by "pop." followed by the name of your provider (eg: usa.com) (this information has been given by your provider). The POP (Post Office Protocol), is the protocol used to received the emails.
Port:
It is set to 110 by default (do not modify, except if your provider gives you special instructions).
Username:
This is normally the first part of your email address, the string before the @ string (eg: henri.spagnolo)
Password:
Well, your password.

SMTP TAB:

Name: 
This is the name you want to display (it will be used instead of displaying your email address) when sending an email.
Address:
This is your complete email address
SMTP server:
This string may be different depending on the provider, the most common time it is "mail." or "smtp."  followed by the  name of your provider (eg: usa.com) (this information has been given by your provider). The SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol), is the protocol used to send emails.
Port:
It is set to 25 by default (do not modify, except if your provider gives you special instructions).
Enable SMTP-AUTH:
Do not check this box (this is an authentication and it is not sure your server is enabled for that). This authentication depend upon the provider and is used as annoyance mail prevention, so sometime transmission from outside is not permitted. When transmitting please verify whether certification is necessary or not.
POP before SMTP:
If checked, then before sending the email, the user will be authenticated using the POP.
Send copy to self:
When you send an email a copy is sent to your inbox.


Signature TAB:

Here you enter your signature or something you wants to add at the end of your message in an automated way. This is an option, and if you do not want to use it, leave it blank.

Filter TAB:

This act as a rule, in case you do not want to receive specific emails containing a specific string, or in case you want an action is performed automatically when receiving an email.

Connection TAB:

LAN:
Select this option if you want to connect through a Local Area Network.
Dial-up:
This option is certainly the most commun used for connecting using a modem of a mobile phone.
Connection:
Select here the connection you want to use that you have previously set using the HP dial-up.
Username:
The login name you normally use to log to Internet.
Password:
Well, agin your password.
Under connection, it reconnects:
If you check this box, the program will simply reconnect in case you were already connected using the HP Dial-up program or another  one.

4) Font

In order to be able to read your messages, it is necessary to set a font in the .INI file thats nPOP uses.

• After having set all what has been explained above,  simply press the "OK button of the "Set account" dialog box.
• Close the program (exit).
• Run "Pocket Word" and open the file "nPOP.ini" located in the folder "\Program files\nPOP" (or where you have installed the program) and add at the end of the line containing the string "FontName=" the name of the font you want to use. For example "Tahoma". The font that are available by default on your machine are: Arial, Courier New, Tahoma and Times New Roman. The other ones are symbols or wingdings and cannot be used for display. If you don't do that, you may have a strange result when displaying a message on a non Japanese machine.

5) How to read HTML email messages?

Open the nPop.ini and edit the lines:
ViewApp="\Windows\iexplore"
ViewFileSuffix="htm"
Now you can open the message using "File -> External viewer" that will launch PIE. Thanks Jose Aguas for this.

6) Enjoy

Run the program again. Now you are able to received and send emails. And without using the HP Dial-up program, you can simply
use the "Dial-up Connect" from the nPOP menu "File" in order to connect.
Also, I recommended that you have a look at the "Options" function under the menu "File" in order to set your preferences.

For your information, the mails displayed by nPOP are only the mails that are present on the server. Therefore, if a mail is deleted
from your server it will disappear from a list, even if the mail is displayed in the list.


I hope this will help you.
