Hi Paul,
I've downloaded in excess of 1000 Emails at one go with the
mPower. What I do is to mark all the messages I want to delete,
(which can be up to several hundred), then press control 8. This
takes a fraction of the time as deleting individual mails.

Hi, Rachael. There are two things that I can come up off the top of my head
that are real problems with the bn's email program.
1. Try downloading a lot of email. I mean over 400. I get about that each
day. Right now, I am reading through over 1000 since I didn't read my mail
yesterday.
Start moving through the subjects. Press the key sequence to delete that
message. On the qt, that's control 8. It will take up to 10 seconds or more
for the bn to move the mail to the trash. This will get better as you shrink
the number of messages.
It will also become hard to move between messages with the left or right
arrow. This will become very sluggish. Exiting will also take a while.
2. Unpredictably, the braille note will choke on a message. This will cause
downloading to stop. There won't be any message. It will just stop.
This happened to me twice at ACB. With 800 messages to download, which, by
the way, isn't a problem for the Mpower, it just stopped at 135 or so
stating that it was finished.
Once the spam was removed, I was able to download all mail. It happened
again two days later.
I have seen this behavior probably four times since I have owned my Mpower.
3. One I forgot about. Try downloading over 400 messages on a braille note
classic. The higher the number, the slower the process will get until it
just crawls.
These won't affect you if you don't get much mail.

Hi Paul,
I'm not here to defend HW, but I'd like to know, what, specifically, is not
reliable about the email program? I've been doing mostly all my email on it
for months now, with very few problems. One that I can remember got blamed
on the BN, and was, in fact, a problem with my ISP. So, I'd say that, while
their email is fiddly, it is relatively reliable. Well, once in a very long
while, I'll lose a message that I've written. That what you mean? <smile
Rachael
