First of all, do you have NIE 1.1 or 2.0? To check, find the "Newton Internet
Enabler" package in your Extras and tap on it.

When you set up a connection profile in NIE setup (which is a separate
package, which you must install), it should prompt you for a subnet mask.

So are you getting a connection then? Does the connection dialog go away and
the SimpleMail one pop up? What version of SimpleMail do you have? Did you
add a SimpleMail setup to your card in Owner's Info?
What I'm trying to say is, we need a ton more information to debug your
problem here :)
