Hi Peggy, Another way to look for personal mail is to navigate to the "to" field while in the Inbox, then invoke the search command. The BN will search the "to" field automatically at this point. If you type in "earth", for instance, you will see only those messages sent to someone with the letters "earth" in their Email address. This not only allows you to see all your personal mail, it also detects quite a bit of spam in my experience.
This would also work for "qwest", "sbcglobal", and other addresses. I'm glad some of you found the search feature helpful.

Sarah, when I'm on vacation and using the BrailleNote exclusively for email, I do the same thing. I'll first start off by using it to search for names, and I'll type "kernsac", so I can find personal email quickly. Then I'll use either the name or subject fields to select groups of messages to a given list. It's not quite as good as having a bunch of different folders, but it works quite well.

Dear Sherry, I'm so glad you wrote this message, as I have been exclusively using the mPower for Email for several months now, and love it. I would like to add one thing, in light of a message I saw on the list a while back. It was mentioned that Email is difficult to sort through on the BN, and that it is much easier to do this with a PC. I have found an excellent, and apparently little-known, way of sorting mail on the BN. When in the Inbox, press read with f on a QT or space with f on a BT. This causes the BN to inquire which detail you want to search. I usually choose to search for subject by pressing s. Then I type part of the subject I want, for instance "BrailleNote", and all my BrailleNote messages appear, without any other messages. Once all the BrailleNote messages have been dealt with, I can then search for the word "blind" in order to sort out the messages from any list I'm on whose subject contains the word "blind". I have found this method to be wonderful when it comes to dealing with a large amount of mail, and I'm talking about three or four hundred messages per day. I hope this information proves helpful, and I will be interested in finding out if the poster of the original message, I believe it was Rose Combs, can use these steps to more easily and efficiently handle large amounts of mail on her BN.

As I've often said, I normally use a PC at home and work. Well, since I'm getting ready to go on my trip, I finally got around to getting into the connectivity options, setting things up and test driving the mPower and email, and the new ethernet card I got. oh my goodness! It was wonderful. Setting up the connection was very easy. And downloading email ... sigh of rapture. It was so fast and smooth and no glitches at all! what an incredible improvement in speed and efficiency. just wanted to gush and say the mPower with the ethernet card, makes it very easy to do email on the BN unit now, and I'm confident I won't be grumbling and swearing at hour long email downloads, while on my trip! oh yes, and emptying the trash was so fast as well. I can really tell the faster processor and more memory. it's really great!
