Rose, I just sent another message with a work-around that would have helped you immensely. If you had navigated to the "to" field while in the Inbox, then invoked the search command and typed "qwest", you would have only seen those messages sent to a Qwest address, including the one you wanted to find immediately.
I understand how one bad experience of this kind can put someone off the whole thing, and also that once one is used to doing things in a certain way, it's not comfortable to learn and use an entirely new interface, especially when one is in a hurry. I hope that, if you're stuck with only the BN for Email in the future, that these suggestions will help you.

It is me who does not like doing e-mail on the Braille note after my experience of downloading 360 messages once. I was in a quandary to see personal messages, with possible unknown subject lines and it took me hours to find the particular one I wanted, from someone I did not know or what the subject line would be, someone a co-worker was asking to write me about something. Maybe I had an unusual circumstance but I found the whole process, and the slowness after I sent only one message to the trash to be annoying and I am very glad I have my computer back to cope with e-mail.

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!
