could not resolve host name

Normally means that your DS is not on the Internet or the DNS servers are not set.

Have you:
- set your DS to connect to wifi by using a WiFi enabled game?
- tried any other WiFi enabled homebrew?
- make sure you are using WEP or no security
- make sure your WiFi SSID is not hidden (retail games can connect to hidden SSIDs, Homebrew can't)
- give your DS a fixed IP address and DNS server
- try adding an RSS feed to NDSMail and see if it picks that up.

I thought it doesn't work with wep? I could never get it going.

I couldn't get it working with my hotmail either, same error.

I thought it doesn't work with wep? All homebrew works with WEP. In the case of NDSMail the creator doesn't allow you to set up a WEP connection from within the program (because he says that "WEP is NOT safe at all"). All you need to do is use a WiFi enabled game to set up your default Slot 1 connection, then NDSMail automatically uses that to connect.

QUOTEI couldn't get it working with my hotmail either, same error.

What server settings are you using? I'll break out my old Hotmail account and give it a go.

Incoming Server (POP3 Server): pop3.live.com
Incoming Server POP Port: 995
Incoming Server POP SSL Encryption: Yes (On or Required)

Outgoing Server (SMTP Server): smtp.live.com
Outgoing Server SMTP Port: 25
Outgoing Server Authentication: Yes (On – Use POP username and password or Hotmail credentials)
Outgoing Server TLS or SSL Secure Encrypted Connection: Yes (On or Required)
- Thanks

my settings are correct, i can use n- wfc with games, ds twitter works (sometimes) and i can even use the browser in dsorganize. its just ndsmail thats not working

My gmail account worked fine, the only thing I did different from you drobb, was I used smtp.googlemail.com & pop.googlemail.com

Testing Hotmail now.

Erm... iCrisis, how can you be using:

Outgoing Server Authentication: Yes (On – Use POP username and password or Hotmail credentials)
Outgoing Server TLS or SSL Secure Encrypted Connection: Yes (On or Required)

When there is none of these options in NDSMail? What exact settings are you using in NDSMail?

I never got it to work, perhaps this is why.
