Keymail has much improved. Since I first used Keysoft in the Keynote Companion in 1995 until I bought my Mp, Keymail has not filled my needs satisfactorily. Now I've got the MP, I can use Keymail and I like it much better, but I still want to see improvements made. Why it took 10 years to improve it to its present state is a mystery to me.
The highest amount of email I have downloaded using Keymail is 424 messages. I belong to about 6 lists, half of them busy with heavy traffic and half with light traffic. If I skip a few days getting email, I can have over a thousand messages in my inbox. The Mp handled the 424 messages sluggishly. So, if I know I'm going to have lots of messages in my inbox, I will probably have to use my PC's. I did experiment with a web email program my ISP offers and I found that it worked quite well with Keyweb. But it is slower to use because I have to search for things and wade through the links. I enjoy sitting here on the couch and reading and writing email using Keymail. I'd rather use my BN as much as possible. That's why I want to see Keymail continue to improve and that's why I would like the BN to be able to access Pine witch would be a good alternative to Keymail. One other thing I forgot to mention which is annoying to me. When I detach and save an attachment, the BN doesn't automatically use the name in the attachment field. Instead, I must type a name. I'd rather have the BN automatically default to the original name in the attachment field. Terri, Amateur radio call sign KF6CA.
