Plug in questions?

Post by cheese123 »

I just got a MX234 for Christmas and WOW! Two questions
1. Can the email plug in check yahoo and/or hotmail accounts. I cannot get it to work after numerous attempts. URLs?
2. Any special hint for getting the weather plug in to work? It only brings up N/A after changing the city code (anywhere else to get city codes other than MSN?)
Thanks

Not at the moment... I belive there is sofware which will emulate a POP3 server for hotmail/yahoo but I'm not 100% sure.

the default weather update time is 4 hours!!! You can change it to two hours, if you are using the default MX2 example screens LCDC should check the weather when LCDC starts...
