Hi Kathy,
Here are my thoughts on Email with the BN for what they are worth!
I rarely if ever save Email on my BN. I may save some messages for a time
but I often forward these to myself thus saving them on my PC. I'd rather
use what space I have on my BN for other files, databases etc. If you
don't have a PC, you could save the text of any Email to a file. Simply
press spacebar with S on a BT keyboard and you will be prompted to where
you would like to save the file, write the filename with extention and you
are good to go. You can move these saved files most anywhere, on a flash
card, onto a PC eventually or keep them in a folder on your BN if you
please. The address information usually isn't saved in these files but the
content of the post is usually saved. Those saved files can be pasted into
any Email if needed. I believe all Email messages are in the database and
must be saved to a file unless you keep various Email messages. Of course,
all Email messages can be saved to a backup file to be restored later but
one can't retrieve anything from a backup quickly so I think your best
option is to save each email message to its own file.
The M-power has 128 megs of disk space where the traditional bn with the
newer mother board has 16 megs in the flash disk. I downloaded the M-power
manual so I will be studying it further.
HTH!

Thank you, Paul. That's just the kind of information I wanted to know. I"m
still trying to find out where the files for keymail are stored so I can
figure out how to handle messages better. I want to move my mail handling
to my 2 GB CF card when it arrives so that I can leave mail where it lands
and not run out of memory, but I can't get an answer to my questions about
where the files are stored actually. I'm pretty sure they're not on the
system card under the keymail folder because I can't hear anything listed
there and because they'd be deleted on the jkl reset if they were and that
wouldn't be smart. So I'm guessing it's in the flash memory that's built
in on the system which only has about 4 MB left on it which certainly
makes it clear why mail slows down after a lot has been downloaded,
because things are really filling up. Do you know the size of the flash
disk on the mpower if that is, in fact where the mail is going?
