 Not bad for the price January 2, 2004
4 out of 5 found this review helpful
I bought the mailstation for my 74 year old Mom for Christmas. It was delivered on time and wasn't damaged. We found it very easy to use. There is nothing to set up, except to plug it in, and it is ready to go. She is very happy with it because now she can stay in touch with her family and friends, and she doesn't have to buy an expensive computer just for email service. The modem is slightly slow, but I didn't encounter any of the problems the previous reviewer writes about. Overall, I think it works great for the $99 price.

This piece of junk was purchased for my mother last Christmas. It did nothing but frustrate her, the thought that counted was it was completely free, provided that a year of service was purchased. But enough about my cheap brother. It has the slowest modem I've seen since the days of Commodore 64s and Vic-20's. It can take up to ten minutes to retrieve eleven e-mails. Oh, the excitement of watching the little status bar..receiving message (7%,11%), just like watching paint dry!!! It seems as if the e-mail contained even the merest HTML, you got a message saying This message contains parts that cannot be viewed on your device, please log on from a (real) computer at (webmail site) to view it in its entirety. And usually it was just somebody sending the letter in different colors or maybe even bold text. My mother questioned the steep ($9.95) monthly fee for mere e-mail service. Last summer she complained fiercely she wanted to vote on the Star Search competition, how could she do it with that device? I said, You can't, it's not real Internet. Oh boy! It has a calculator on it. So does the impulse item section waiting in the express lane at WallyWorld, just 99. This device will frustrate even little old ladies, if for the mere fact alone you can't look up people's e-mail addresses, you must give your address to somebody with a real computer or even a WebTv. In closing, when we told bro we weren't renewing it, he said it was a good deal and we should give it to somebody else. We don't hate anybody enough to give them this thing and frustrate the heck out of them. It's only a good deal because his wife set it up and he just looked at the box while waiting at red lights, driving it home. Just buy Ma a MsnTv receiver, at least she can look up where the Bingo parlors are.

I recently have had health problems that dictate I not use a computer a whole lot because of monitor refresh rates. It was important to me that I still be in touch with business and friend contacts during my treatment and recovery time. The Earthlink Mailstation 150 has worked out great! It is very easy to learn, setup, and use. I had it completely mastered in a snap. If you're just looking for a simple way to send and receive email - You WILL love this product. I have experienced no problems and even tested out Tech Support before writing this review. Not only were they fast but they thanked me for giving them a test run for review purposes. When was the last time you had that happen?
Terrible service, non-functioning product April 9, 2003

Like the other reviewer, I began trying to make this thing work in December, for my grandmother. Since then it's been one run-around after another. The first had a broken screen; it took them weeks to send me a new one, then when I got that one and sent it to my grandmother, it didn't work. She spent all these hours on the phone with them trying to get it to work, and it wouldn't, so finally she sent it back to me. I tried to get a refund, and the Mailstation people wouldn't give it to me, because I was past the 30 day purchase limit. Terrible.
This is great for my Mom January 31, 2003

My Mom loves the mailstation. I got this as a gift for her, and now she is up online and emailing the Grand kids. I would very much recommend this product for people who don't want a computer, but want email. I am a bit techie, so I don't really need it, but for the right person....
