This booklet tells you how to set up and use the SimpleMail internet e-mail transport. For the background on Newton e-mail, please refer to Apple’s Newton E-Mail guide
Getting started
There are several things you need to do in order to use e-mail.
- You need to create an Internet setup using the Newton Internet Enabler (NIE) [5] so that your Newton device can communicate with your Internet Service Provider (ISP) or intranet.
- If you’re using a modem, you need to set your modem preferences.
- You need to set up SimpleMail [8]. Once these steps are done, you should be able to use e-mail on your Newton device.

Note
Because SimpleMail uses the Newton Internet Enabler, it will only work with Newton 2.x devices. It will not work on the Original MessagePad (OMP), MP100, MP110 or early models of the MP120 which use Newton 1.x.x

Since then Paul Guyot has created a 2.1 (710031) update for the English MP2000 and MP2100 that fixes a Dates/Find bug.
The six-digit number tells you what type of Newton device the system update applies to, and when it was built. See the Newton FAQ: Newton OS [3] for a full description of the numbering system.

Newton Internet Enabler
Your Newton must be Internet Enabled before you can use SimpleMail. You need to install Apple’s Newton Internet Enabler (NIE) [5], of which there are two versions.
- NIE 1.1 works on any Newton 2.x device. It is the only option for the MP120 and MP130.
- NIE 2.0 works only on Newton 2.1 devices, ie MP2000, MP2100 and eMate. It offers more connection options over NIE1.1. Follow the directions in the NIE folder to set up a link to your Internet Service Provider (ISP) using Internet Setup.
