This is a good suggestion and I might use it for some of the mail. I'll have to make some hard decisions about which Emails I can live without and which ones I can't. Argh!

I believe the BN does it's receive process before the send so this should work. Of course if you receive them after the upgrade, they'll all show as coming from you but if you're just using this as a backup, it's better than losing everything.

The Email is stored in a special format inside the Keymail database. It's not just a plain text file that you could put on a CompactFlash card. All the databases are being reworked during the upgrade process, and we won't be able to use the CDB files created in 5.1 when we have 6.1. Maybe I'm misunderstanding what you are suggesting? -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Sarai D.

Oh well, at least I have lots to do while I'm patiently waiting for the upgrade to arrive.

Yesterday, Sarah, I worked with three people that installed their upgrade. I would advise you to get your important email, and save it somewhere. I know, that's what you wanted to hear. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Sarah Cranston" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Braillenote List" <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, March 08, 2005 7:42 AM Subject: [Braillenote] Trepidation Hi Dean, Jonathan, and List, I have a fairly major concern about upgrading to 6.1. I have around two hundred Emails stored in my BrailleNote in Keymail. Apparently when some individuals have had trouble with Keymail after upgrading, the only way to remedy the problem is to completely trash and recreate the Email database. I *really* don't want to have to do this! My question is: should I start the unbelievably tedious process of saving all my important mail as text so I can get at the information later, or do I just take the plunge when 6.1 arrives and run the upgrade with the hope that all will go well? I have a backup of my flash disk on my CompactFlash card, including my Email database, but I gather that the databases created under 5.1 will be entirely useless and unusable after upgrading. Any thoughts, contemplations, and considerations are welcome.
