My mother has a mailstation e-mail machine. I live in CA, she lives in IL so it is great for communicating. However, she tells me she can only receive one e-mail at a time. If two e-mails are sent, one of them is deleted before she can read it. Does anyone have a solution for this problem?

Hi,

Julie mentioned Presto as a possible solution above. I’m biased…I work for Presto, but I do think it is a very simple solution for keeping in touch with family members that have trouble with email and computers.

[...] after it was originally posted, I continue to receive emails and comments about my review of the Mailstation email appliance. For example, the other day I received this email: Hi Julie, My mom just turned 95 [...]

@Bill So that must mean that Earthlink is still supporting them?

I have an 82 years old relative that will not have anything to do with computers. I set her up with an Earthlink mailstation that I bought on eBay and it works great. She has no computer skills but is able to read, write and send email, (text only, no photos or attachments) using the Mailstation.

If anyone is interested, I have one of these. I just pulled it out and plugged it in and it still works. I can’t see any point in them, anymore, but if you are interested, I can be contacted at hbchb at cox.net.

Hi, I work as a Sales Consultant in an internet service provider here in the United States and we don’t offer services anymore for Mailstations. I’d rather suggest that you buy a regular computer or laptop if you really want to go online. It would be a waste of time if you will not believe me coz you will just keep on calling those companies or all the internet providers asking if you can get a service for that particular equipment. Once you already have your PC or laptop with you, you can ask for either a Dial Up or high speed DSL internet service (that depends on your activities online). Good Luck!

@Marie I don’t think the mailstation is being made any longer. Here are a couple alternatives worth looking into:

My mother in law has the mailstation and loved it so we got her a computer and she wants her mailstation back….we purchased it about 8 yrs ago.
Can she get one that is cable friendly?
