Terry, You may not be aware that you can, indeed, sort your Email into folders with Keymail. I have about fifteen folders where I keep stuff in Keymail. They are not "real" folders, like where you store your files. In my head, I call them "virtual folders" because they look like folders in Keymail, but they are really all part of one big database file. Here's the appropriate chunk of the manual, and let me know if you have questions. This is really easy and fun once you get used to it.
***** 11.7.1 E-mail Folders. KeyMail organizes your messages by sorting them into folders. These folders are located within the KeyMail system, and are not part of the normal folder structure of KeySoft. Initially, KeyMail provides 7 internal folders. These are Inbox, Outbox, Sent, Received, All, Draft and Trash. It is highly recommended that you create at least 2 folders of your own. Your folders could simply be called "Mail In" and "Mail out." Incoming mail is automatically placed in the Inbox. When you have read an e-mail, KeyMail will prompt you to move the e-mail to another folder. This folder must be one that you have created, or the "Trash" folder, and could for example be your "Mail In" folder. Items moved from the Inbox also appear in the Received folder. A link to this e-mail also appears in the All folder. It is important to understand that if an e-mail stays in the Inbox, it does not appear in either the Received or All folders. The Outbox stores your outgoing e-mail messages until they have been sent. At the point where you are about to send your e-mail message, KeyMail asks if you wish to save a copy. If you answer yes, you are prompted for the folder into which to save the e-mail. Again, this must be a folder you have created, and could be your "Mail out" folder. E-mail saved in a folder prior to sending will also appear in the Sent folder. A link to this e-mail is also placed in the All folder. It is important to realize that sent e-mails only appear in the Sent and All folders if you have saved them to one of your folders. The Drafts folder is used to hold messages that have been started, but are not ready to be sent, and the Trash folder stores any e-mails deleted from the system. New mail is automatically placed in the Inbox and is stored in the order it is received. If you choose to read the Inbox, KeyMail asks whether you wish to check for new mail before placing you in the Inbox at the last item received. KeyMail encourages you to organize your e-mail as you read. Once a message has been read from the Inbox, you are prompted to move the message from the Inbox to another folder. In this way you keep the number of items in your Inbox to a manageable number, and you are able to organize your e-mail under useful categories. E-mail within a folder can be marked, either on an individual basis, or alternatively all items can be marked. This handy feature allows you to move, copy, delete, print or emboss marked e-mails as a group without having to repeat the procedure for each e-mail. Reading or detaching file attachments received with e-mail is easy with KeyMail. Document attachments can be read without detaching, or they may be detached and saved in the normal KeySoft folders so that they can be accessed from KeyWord. The "E-mail Action Menu" can be invoked from within any KeyMail folder, or while reading an e-mail, and provides tools for replying to e-mail, forwarding an e-mail to another person or group of people, moving, copying, deleting, printing and embossing. ***** Some of the folders I have creted are: BrailleNote BookPort NFB Mom Stuff Games Anyway, you get the idea, you can create a folder for any kind of Email. I don't know if this was made clear in the above section of the manual, but after you read an Email in the InBox, press space with e to exit,. When asked where to move the Email, type the name of a folder, and if it doesn't exist, Keysoft will ask you if you want to create that folder. Say yes, and you will then have a new folder where you can move all future Emails in that category.

That is why I continue to use the computer, at work, for e-mail. I love my BT, especially the address book. I can look up any adress I have and not depend on what little sight I have. Since my sight is getting worse, I am trying to stop using jumbo print and use the BN more and more. It sure is handy. I even keep record of my nut sales, for the NFB. I am hoping to make a data base or just put it in word processer, of my family birthdays. I might add addresses or put them in the address book. A lot of work ahead on my new baby!

I'd rent the truck or borrow one from a friend when I needed to move large items. There is still the matter of fuel costs to consider. Although one does lots of things with a computer, there only a few necessities of life as it were that the bn fills nicely. These include sending and receiving email, composing or editing a document, browsing the web when necessary and listening to audio. The bn is certainly powerful enough to do all of these and with good programming, should be able to do them well. There are plenty of people out there who find it daunting or difficult to use a PC. The braille note fits their needs quite nicely. There are also those who want a portable solution with a refreshable braille display. The bn fits those needs as well. If my house suddenly caught fire and burned to the ground, If I could get my Mpower and its accessories, I could accomplish all I needed to until I could get another computer for the superfluous stuff. It comes down to portability, ease of use, a longer battery life than with a laptop and smaller size. I believe that it is possible that the bn can be made to do anything that a pc can with good programming and accessories. Yes. The Pc has a faster processor and more memory, but does that really matter when you are writing a document, downloading email or browsing the web? ___ To leave the BrailleNote list, send a blank message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] To view the list archives or change your preferences, visit http://list.humanware.com/mailman/listinfo/braillenote ___ To leave the BrailleNote list, send a blank message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] To view the list archives or change your preferences, visit http://list.humanware.com/mailman/listinfo/braillenote ___ To leave the BrailleNote list, send a blank message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] To view the list archives or change your preferences, visit http://list.humanware.com/mailman/listinfo/braillenote
