Hi Sammie, I have to chalk this up to sheer laziness. I'm overdue for making my Email into text files, it's not that difficult and it really needs to happen. [LOL!]
Thanks, Sarah -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of sammie clay Sent: Thursday, May 25, 2006 4:21 PM To: Braillenote List Subject: RE: [Braillenote] email extremely slow! hello, Wouldn't it be simpler to have a folder created on a compact flash or SD card to store all these messages you want to keep? Having so much in the E-Mail folder may cause your flash drive to crash, then it's possible you'll lose everything you've filed. I use a 64 mb compact card solely for messages from my inbox. Your folders can have the same names as those in your E-Mail folder and can be sorted either alphabetically, numerically, or by date. And your E-Mail will always download swiftly.

Even though I knew perfectly well this was a bad idea, I love to collect, and I was pretty bad at making myself delete stuff. [LOL!] I still am now that I have an mPower, I currently have close to three thousand Emails stored in Keymail, and it's behaving amazingly similar to my classic.

This wasn't often the case, though, so I was almost always resigned to a long wait.
