Also, Lisa, what do you mean you "can't figure out" Roselle's method? What, exactly, can you not figure out, and what steps have you taken to perform Roselle's method? Make sure you delete the database AFTER saving all the emails you want to file. What you do is this: From the Main Menu, press F for File Manager, then D for Directory You'll be prompted for a drive, so either type in, or SPACE until you get to, the Flash Disk. Press ENTER to select it, and at the prompt for a folder, either type in, or SPACE until you get to, KeyList. You'll be asked for a file name, but before you do anything here, hit SPACE once, so you see "List of all files in KeyList Folder", and press SPACE with X once, so that you see "List of All, Including Hidden, Files in KeyList folder". Once you've got the view of "hidden" files up, SPACE through the list until you get to a file called email folders.cdb Hit BACKSPACE with dots 1-4 to delete it, and confirm this by answering Yes to the prompt asking if you're sure you want to delete. Now, to re-create your database: Select KeyMail from the Main Menu. Select the option to read email, and select any folder. Note, though, that you will only have the 7 default folders, namely "InBox", "OutBox", "Sent", "Received", "All", "Drafts", and "Trash", and you will have to re-create any of your personally created folders. However, you can create them AFTER you re-create the database. Anyway, select one of the 7 folders, and tap the ENTER key. You'll be told that the database called Email Folders doesn't exist, and you will be asked if you wish to install one, so hit Y to confirm this, and the new database will be in place. There won't be any email in there, of course, and please note that you CANNOT restore those emails you've saved to file back into the database because they are no longer in the database format; the only emails you can have in your database are those sent and received through KeyMail, as opposed to those saved to file. As the whole purpose of you saving them to file was to get rid of them from the database, this makes sense. Anyway, to re-create your personalized folders (the folders that you create in addition to the 7 mentioned above, and that you give a unique name to, much like a folder in KeyWord), get to any "Folder Name" prompt. The easiest way is to receive an email; even if you write one to yourself, and receive it using KeyMail, that's okay, because you can always delete it. Once you've read this email from the InBox and pressed SPACE with E to exit it, you'll be asking which folder you want to move it to. Type in the name of a folder you wish to create; the only folder which you will be able to access if you SPACE through is the "Trash" folder if you haven't created any yourself. After typing in the folder, tap ENTER. You'll be told that a folder doesn't exist, and asked if you wish to create one, so press Y, and the action will be taken. To create more, you can go to your created folder where you've moved this email, open the email' select the Email Action Menu by pressing SPACE with dots 2-6, and selecting the option to "Move an Email", at which point you follow the same procedure above. You can keep on doing this until you've got all your folders created. I also sent you another post before this, so that I could get clarification on your third question of how exactly you search through a folder for emails (the steps you take). I don't know why the email problem you mentioned in your first question occurred, but it could've been some type of corruption with your database if you did something to interrupt, for example, the insertion of fields from KeyMail to modify the Email Printer Template if you had wanted to (part of Roselle's method on saving emails). Hope this helps, and I hope I will be able to help you with your remaining questions once I get some clarification back from you. Thanks. Maria P.S. You had sent out another post, which I had meant to answer, but had just never gotten around to it. I thought all your questions had been answered with the exception of the one about searching through emails, which is the one I'm trying to get clarification on. However, I just remembered that you had asked one more question in that post, which hadn't been answered, so I'll answer it now. You had asked why the Grade indicators were not in Appendix B of the User Guide on Format Indicators. This is because this Appendix only covers format indicators you can search for and use to replace anything with, and as you can't use the Grade indicators at the Find or Replace prompts. I also just thought of a suggestion for your Find problem. Are you typing your search strings in Computer Braille? You must do this in order for the text to be found. HTH.
