    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.

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

    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!

    POP widgets are a very bad idea. At best, your mail password is stored (in clear text) at chumby.com At worst, an undisclosed third party (not covered by Chumby's privacy policy) operating the server back-end to your widget has your credentials. Very bad idea...

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

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

    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?

    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!

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

    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!

    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?
