True, I had forgotten that. Also, it is worth looking into the mobile site by visiting gmail.com on the bn. It is really quite easy to manage messages that way, and you never have to worry about your mail being corrupted, deleted, or anything else. Furthermore, attachments like docx files or pdfs can be viewed directly in gmail, avoiding the need to translate them into a format the bn can use. You can still use keymail to send messages, letting you write in grade 2 or attach files and have them auto-translated into sight-friendly formats.
