I would simply add one thing to what Alex stated for setting up
the note takers to get gmail. If you have not already done so,
you need to login to your gmail account, get into the area where
your email can be found, and open the settings link. Then find
the option to change Google's default imap mail option to using
pop3 mail. At one time this could easily be done with your note
taker device by changing from standard view to basic html view in
your web mail area in Google but a few months ago Google changed
something and you now have to jump through extra hoops to login
to Google with a mobile device. I now use a regular computer when
I wish to get into Google web mail, since it only requires the
first part of your email address, the part before the at sign, as
user and your password.

Subject: Re: [Braillenote] how to setup an email on your
braillenote using keymail
Lorenna: go to the email menu by pressing e from the main menu.
Press
s for setup options, or o if you are on an apex with ks9.1 or
later.
Press d for directory of accounts, then a to add an account. Fill
out
the information as you are prompted. Some notes:
1. Your username should be your full email address, including the
@gmail.com part.
2. The pop server is pop.gmail.com and smtp is smtp.gmail.com.
3. For both pop and smtp, say yes to "use a secure connection".
4. At the end, because you told it to secure pop and smtp, you
will be
prompted for ports. The pop port is 995, the smtp port is 465.
5. Please note that using the receive options to tell the bn to
delete
email from the server after receiving will not work on a gmail
account
for some reason.
Let us know how it goes.
