Ok Maria I am now unable to create a database so now what? the message Cannot find e-mail folders comes up nothing about do I want to create a new database so what do I do now? This is just what I was afraid would happen. Interestingly my folders are still all there including the ones I want to get rid of. So someone help me out a bit, please. I think I am getting in over my head. Smiling! Thanks!

Use the File Manager/Erase File option to do so. It is a "hidden" file, so you will have to select the view of "All, including Hidden, Files" by pressing [SPACE with X], [READ with X]. When erasing this file, you will be prompted that deleting it may result in the loss of your Address List, Directory of Services, and E-mail databases; this will NOT happen, and you will just lose your e-mail database. Before version 4 of KeySoft, the KeyList.cdb file stored the records for these three databases, so it would be true that you would lose all three when deleting this file, but after 4.0, the three databases were separated, so deleting the 'ence-mail folders.cdb' file will only delete your e-mail database. Press Y to confirm deletion. Now, with that database deleted, go to the KeyMail Menu, and select the option to Write an E-mail. You'll be told that the associated database does not exist, and you will be asked to confirm creation of one, so press Y. You now have an empty e-mail database. It looks like it did when you got the BN from PDI, so you will only have the seven default folders. You would have to re-create your own folders by typing in a nonexistent folder name at any of the prompts involving folders in KeyMail (such as the "Move to which Folder?" prompt), then pressing Y for "Yes" to confirm the creation. > > HTH, > Maria > > > ----- Original Message ----- > >From: "Mary Ellen Earls" <[EMAIL PROTECTED] > >To: "Braillenote List" <[email protected] > >Date: Tue, 13 Jul 2004 10:32:54 -0700 > >Subject: [Braillenote] Is it safe to erase a database? > > >Hi folks! > >Here is what I am planning on doing. > >When the Braille Note was my only source of getting e-mail, I made lots of > >folders within the keymail folder itself.
