With the PK, I downloaded 350 messages using my wireless connection the other day--well, actually 349 messages. And, the download did go just fine, maybe taking seven or eight minutes. However, often when I read an e-mail and then moved it to the trash folder, it would take over thirty seconds or so for that process to finish and for me to be shown the next message. But, after I got down under 200 messages, the process of reading and deleting e-mail went very quickly as usual. For, as I normally only download somewhere between 50 and 150 e-mails to my PK at a time, it was kind of interesting to see how the unit would react to lots of messages. Although, I don't think I'll download that many at a time on to it on a regular basis. Now, where does the e-mail go by default? The flashdisk? With all the other info I stored there, I had about 2,500,000 characters remaining right after downloading those messages, and about 4,500,000 remaining after I had read and deleted all of them. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Paul Henrichsen" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Braillenote List" <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, March 10, 2005 8:14 PM Subject: Re: [Braillenote] 511 messages in inbox
I would think that keymail should be able to handle however many messages you have as long as you don't run out of disk space. When I had 5.1, I think I downloaded 400 once.
