} Re.: Gmail pop3 access. Wifi. - Indeed it is not possible to
} use Gmail with a 5MX. You will have to use an in between POP3
} mailbox and send your Gmail automatically through to the POP3
} mailbox which you can empty with your Psion.

Itamar you may have more experience of this, but I used my 5mx for all
e-mails at one time.

I also have a Gmail account.  I have now setup the ability to send and
receive using my Gmail address using Outlook 2002 using my Virgin Net
POP account.

I hope this is the appropriate place for this, but I am selling my 
Psion 5MX.  It's in great condition and comples complete with the 
original box, serial lead and all documentation and a 512MB CF Card.  
I'm asking $100USD shipped in the USA and I will ship at cost for 
people living elsewhere. Let me know, i'd like to see it go to a good 
home.

>Is it not possible to do this with a netBook, using VNC? It's on my "To do
some day" list to play around with this.

It is possible, I used TightVnc which worked very well.  In fact I still do
use it on occasion at home (just because I can!).

However, where I used to work, I controlled the firewall and was able to set
up routing so that I could access all of the servers via VNC and my Psion!
Looked like I was running NT Server on my netBook!

You have to run VNC Server on the machine you want to access, then all you
do is run the VNC client and enter in the PC's IP address - this is harder
if you are behind a firewall, however network address translation (NAT)
takes care of everything!  I could even use VNC to access a server, then run
VNC client on that server to access another server!

I even once did it using my mobile as a modem!
