Carol,
I have managed to setup Gmail to work without any problems at all on my PK
and mPower. The thing to keep in mind is to enable SSL for both the
incoming/outgoing servers and to input the proper port number for both the
incoming and outgoing server. Consult the Help documentation that Gmail
provides and generalize the information given for Outlook Express for the
BrailleNote.

Ray and all,
Ray, as I explained in yesterday's personal response to you, I have got it
working with Outlook Express, having turned on POP in Google settings.
However, I am still failing to make things happen on the BN. I just get
messages about needing Authentification, whether I've set Yes or No ...
I'm going to scrap the record and re-do, as I have known things to just
not take proper effect before. I am wondering though, if anyone is
actually using Gmail with a PK, or if it could be a bug ...
Any other suggestions most welcome. Thanks!

Hi Carol:
Are you using Gmail with Outlook or Outlook Express on the computer? If
you are, then you probably have pop access enabled on your gmail
account. In this case:
1. On your braille note, go to the keymail menu, then the keymail setup
menu, then the directory of e-mail accounts, then press A to add a new
account.
2. Give the account whatever name you want. Put in your name as you
want it to appear on e-mails that you send, and your complete gmail
address. For incoming e-mail server, put in pop.gmail.com. When asked
if the server uses a secure connection, press Y.
3. For smtp or outgoing server, put in smtp.gmail.com. Again, answer
yes when asked if the server uses a secure connection.
4. For your user name, put in the first part of your e-mail address,
the part before the "@gmail.com." When prompted, put in your password.
5. For pop port, enter 995. For smtp port, enter 465. Also, answer
yes to the question "My outgoing server requires authentication."
6. Press e-chord or escape and answer yes to "add this record?"
If you are currently accessing your gmail account via the web, then you
first need to enable pop access on it. If this is the case, log onto
gmail and press enter on the help link. You'll find instructions for
setting up pop access there. Once pop access is set up, follow the
steps above for setting up the Braille Note to access gmail.
Thanks, and please call me if I can be of assistance.
