Michele: I just reviewed Chapter 11 of the Braille Note manual and could find no reference to how to download from a PC. However, they do tell you that you can choose whether you wish to download from your service provider or leave them there for downloading to a PC at a later date.
I did not go back into the archives for this users list, but remember this discussion about a month ago. At that time someone stated that to move an e-mail from the PC to the BN, it needed to first be converted from a .msg to a .txt file. If one wanted to do this with many messages, they could save them as .txt files in the "Braille Note Synchronized file" folder in "My Documents" and they would then all sync to the "synchronized files" folder on the Braille Note when the two are synchronized.

How does one download emails from the PC on to the Bn?
