Hi. I will try and answer the one about mail and what I do when using a braille display although use a Eurobraille.
1. If there are a lot of mesages in the thread, (and you want to read messages in order)? Make sure you open the message first either by using the routing cells on the display or double tapping your I phone screen (whatever is easier for you). 2. If you do space bar L, you will land at the edit box. If you do not want to read all the messages, press the routing cell on your display. 3. You will notice that the button has changed to cancel. 4. Move across with your Joice Stick and double tap each message you do not want to read. 5. When all messges have been selected, chord 4 5 6 (space bar needs to be pressed together). You will land on a choice of buttons. Labelled as Mark, move, delete or refresh. Find the delete and press your routing cell. All messages be deleted. Otherwise, when in your inbox, find the edit field, press your routing cell. without opening each message, double tap chord right and find the delete button. All messages be deleted. Hope this is useful for anyone who has roblems reading mail with their braille display. Kawal.
