I agree with you. I use K9 mail for that reason.

Hi, wait, is there really no way like with IOS, to view all mailboxes in one?
Ouch, that's worrying, indeed.On 25/08/16 19:09, Linda Mentink wrote: Hi
Lucy, Your questions are very good, and I appreciate them. I'll give you my
take. I haven't used my Touch much yet, but I'm not having much trouble
adjusting. My experience with the email is mixed. As you have heard from
others, there's no way to delete all the messages in the trash folders all
at once, so it's very time-consuming to clean it out because they have to be
deleted one by one. This is annoying, since I have already deleted them one
by one from my inBoxes. However, it's much faster than the Apex, and will
read HTML files. Also, each account has its own set of boxes, so it's
necessary
to check each account I have by changing my current account to the other.
It's not possible to create email folders, but there are a few choices to
which I can move my messages. I'll probably save messages in the "starred"
folder. As for the internet, I really like it. It's much faster, and much
more accessible than the Apex. I can listen to things now. I'm thrilled
that I can go onto my church website and listen to sermons I missed. Right
now, the Apex has it over the Touch in three areas: it has a dictionary, it
has GPS and it has the capability to edit Braille files. The touch does not
have a dictionary or GPS, but there are probably accessible apps for each.
Editing Braille files will be possible in the next update, which will come
out in the fall. I haven't written any documents in my Touch yet because I
prefer to do them in Braille,
which is not possible. Because I haven't used my Touch much yet, I'm not sure
about it crashing; but I've not heard of such except for Mayson's trouble.
If you've been on this list for awhile, you'll know about that. As for the
camera, I don't know about OCR capability, but the KNFB Reader Mobile app
will be part of the next update. I'm looking forward to that! I don't know
anything about eventually connecting it to an iPhone. Maybe Greg Stilson
will weigh in here. I haven't had time to really get used to using Touch
Braille, but I'm thinking that will be my biggest challenge. As of yet, I
don't know how quickly and easily I'll be able to get from one Braille file
to another, so I'm hesitant to use it in church. I think it will take more
keystrokes than I have time for, so I'll continue to use my Apex. Yep, I
upgraded to the Touch, but I kept my
Apex. Blessings, Linda ----- Original Message ----- From: Lucy Sirianni

2016 07:00:55 -0700 Subject: [BNU] BrailleNote Touch questions Hi all, I got
to see a BrailleNote Touch this week and am considering getting one, but I
still have some questions that I'd love to get help with here. In general,
I'd love to hear from those of you using the Touch about how you like it as
compared to the Apex, but here are some specific things I'm wondering about
1. How easy or challenging was the adjustment from the Apex to the Touch?
Were you able to perform basic tasks like writing documents, checking email,
using the internet, etc, fairly quickly? Were there things that took a while
to learn/feel comfortable with on the Touch? 2. How stable is the Touch
compared to the
Apex in terms of how often it crashes, how often it needs to be reset, etc?
3. Is there anything the Apex can do that the Touch can't? 4. I know the
Touch can't connect to an iPhone. Do we think this might change, or is it
just unnecessary given the Touch's capabilities? 5. Is the internet
faster/more accessible on the Touch than it is on the Apex? 6. I saw that
the Touch has a camera. Does it have OCR capabilities? 7. Any other
pros/cons/things to be aware of as I consider upgrading from the Apex to the
Touch? Thanks so much in advance for your thoughts on any or all of these
questions! Lucy Lucy Sirianni Doctoral Candidate and Graduate Student
