You can read more about how to do so >>in the manual under 11.7.6, Folder Management. You can find this in the >>index under Folder Management Email. When reading an email and you exit out >>to read another, you will be asked to move this email to which folder? >>Normally, I move what I read to trash unless I wish to save it elsewhere. If >>you wish to create a new folder, simply type its name and press enter. You >>will be told the folder doesn't exist, create folder? Type y for yes, and you >>have your new folder with your first message moved into it. Let's assume you >>want to save my message to the work folder but you don't have one yet. You >>exit from this message, the BN will prompt "Move this message to which >>folder?" Type work at this point. The BN will say something like the folder >>doesn't exist, create folder? Type y for Yes and this post will be the first >>message in your work folder. After some time, you decide you no longer need >>the work fol d >er >>r. You can select the prompt "Read from which folder?" Go down the list of >>folders till you point to the work folder. Type dots 2 3 5 6 with backspace >>key to delete the work folder you no longer need. That's all there is to it! >>>From the main menu, type a for address list. You should hear when pressing >>>spacebar, add an address, look up address. Press enter on the look up >>>address field. You will get selection list for address list. You will see >>>last name, first name along with the other fields. You can type in a last >>>name to see if the BN can find a match. If it does, you will have the >>>information in your address list under that name. If you would rather >>>browse through your address list, press enter again and you should see all >>>the names in your address list. If a name has an EMAIL address in one of >>>the fields, you can send EMAIL to that person. You can read all the fields >>>under a given name or under every name in your address list at this point. >>>I'll discuss how to use your address list to send mail in another post if >>>you like. >>If you wish to save a copy of something you sent, you will be asked whether >>you wish to save a copy? Type y for yes. You will then be offered a list of >>folders where you can save your copy. It could be your work folder, or >>another one of your personal folders. Select the folder you want the email >>to go into, and it will be saved there once the Email is sent. In Keymail, >>one cannot save EMAIL in the "sent" box. Email in that folder disappears >>once it is sent! Any copies of your EMAIL need to go in one of your personal >>folders. I have one called My EMAIL and that's where a copy of my own >>written EMAIL would go if I saved a copy. I rarely do so. >>I don't think it is a good idea to save bunches of EMAIL in your BN. If >>there are too many saved EMAILS in your BN, the operation of receiving and >>sending EMAILS could get slow and sluggish! You can either leave EMAIL on >>the server when reading it with your BN, or you can forward EMAIL from your >>BN to whereever you want it to go. I often do this myself. I save all >>important EMAIL on my PC. I rarely save anything on my BN. The database >>could be corrupted one day and you could lose that important information. >>When you have a chance, forward EMAIL you wish to save to your EMAIL address >>of choice. You can save the text of an EMAIL to a file which might be >>helpful as well. Your saved file can be pasted into other EMAILS you send. >>HTH >>Jim >>>----- Original Message ----- >>>From: "Rose Combs" <[EMAIL PROTECTED] >>>To: "'Braillenote List'" <[email protected] >>>Date: Fri, 10 Jun 2005 19:46:20 -0700 >>>Subject: [Braillenote] Configuring e-mail >>>My question to the public at large is how do I create extra e-mail >>>folders like they recommend in the manual, I don't see a way to do it in >>>the e-mail client itself but yet the manual does say that e-mail folders >>>are not treated like other folders so I assume going to file manager and >>>to folders and create a folder isn't going to work. >>>I could have missed something but I have been all over Chapter 11 in the >>>manual and I seem to be missing this one.
