There is a Netfront version specifically for the PPC. I run it for just such
issues. You should have the ability to attach to your POP3 account via the
Inbox application on your PPC and avoid all that WEB hoohah. It sets up much
like setting it up in Outlook, entering the server names, username,
password, etc. The PPC Inbox also defaults to leaving mail on the server
when it downloads so you needn't worry about the mail being stuck on the
X30. It is possible to delete the mail on the server but it is a two step
process and so won't be done accidentally.
