hello Steeve and list, There is no way at the moment, of reading CDB files on the PC. There is no work around for this. Your suggestion on this thread was a good one.

They are used for copying addresses to a document and from one address list to another. Now you say that your student is getting a bn later on, as I said the easiest way for her is to copy both the email folders definition file and the cdb file, should be found in keymail folder on the flashdisk. Copy them to a disk or flashcard. When the new unit arrives, just install them again. > > Now as to why you can't copy email like a keyword document, I have asked three bn users whom I know and this is the best answer we have. > > This may get correction from pdi staff, and we sure hope it does. Each email message is defined as a wp temp file. If you use the all files option in keyword to open a wp temp file, as we understand it, the wp temp file is just that. Temporary. In other words, each email received overwrites the wp temp file just as each email that is sent overwrites it too. And because you can only have one wp temp file this should mean and we hope that we have this correctly, that only one email can be accessed through the wp temp file. > > Again I would also like to ask the question. Has anyone tried using a pc with the flashcard and seeing if the pc can make any sense of the email folders cdb file? If so, what happens, and if not, is there a way on the pc of resolving this? I don't consider this question as off topic, because it relates to the bn and the access to email messages. If someone can answer that question, we are half way to solving the problem. > > Now I assume that you own your bn, so rather than give you a long winded explanation of the template document, stand by for chapter 1 to 4. > > Steeve. > > > ----- Original Message ----- > >From: "Karen Folsom" <[EMAIL PROTECTED] > >To: "Braillenote List" <[email protected] > >Subject: Re: [Braillenote] Backing up email messages > > > >Hello Steve and all! > > >Steve, will you explain how your template works and how it is beneficial? > >It sure seems like there should be easier ways to back up things like email > >messages since we all know that computers--even BrailleNotes--crash or lose > >data rather frequently.
