I used the BN to receive e-mail two evenings while my computer was down, and frankly, I set up my husband's laptop to check my mail after that because the BN was much too slow and cumbersome to work with in the e-mail application. I received 359 messages one night and it took me over five hours to work through them, something that I can usually manage in less than an hour using Jaws, depending on how many messages I really need to read. I could not locate the personal messages sent to me as I prefer to get to those first, deleting sometimes took over a minute to accomplish. The lack of filtering into separate boxes for each group I subscribe to is a definite issue also.
I have DSL superfast connection, not the normal 256 many have and I was using an Ambicom wireless card, the problem was not so much downloading messages, but dealing with them after they were on the BN. I know I will never depend on the Braille Note as my only way to collect e-mail. I freed database space four times during the evening, and still had some mighty slow times in deleting messages. I don't know what can be done about the E-mail client but I am surely glad I don't have to dependent on it day in and day out.

As a matter of fact, I have encountered much the same problem. I am using a Bt classic with version 7.0 on a DSL connection. My PC downloads mail just fine. What happens with my BN is that the first 80 messages or so download with good speed and then the other messages download at a crawl. A side issue is that lately, when I delete individual messages, after the sixth message, the BN hangs for about ten to twenty seconds and then perms the action to finish deleting the message. The same thing happens if I decide to exit the inbox. After the sixth message has been sent to the trash folder, then the machine hangs for about ten to twenty seconds. Any ideas how to fix this?
