7. E-mail

To use the e-mail program, you must have an e-mail account, provided to you by

your Internet service provider or sign up for a free account such as Gmail or

Hotmail. Your e-mail account needs to support POP3 (Post Office Protocol 3) or

IMAP (Internet Message Access Protocol) and SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer

Protocol) to be accessed with the BrailleSense.

Before you use the e-mail program, you must also configure the BrailleSense to

access the Internet, (see section 3.2 "Internet Setup").

 Note: The menus in the BrailleSense's e-mail program are specific to the

task you are performing: for example, when checking the "Inbox" in the e-

mail program, the menu items are different from the available items when

you are writing an e-mail or viewing mailboxes. Generally, the available e-

mail program menus are "File", "Edit", "Tools" and "Message".

To access these menus, press "Space-M" or "F2". Select a menu item, and

press "Enter". Use "Space-1" and "Space-4" or the Up and Down scroll keys to

navigate menus, settings or file lists. Use "Space-4-5" and "Space-1-2" or "F3"

and "Space-F3" to tab among controls in a dialog.

7.1 Executing E-mail

To use the e-mail program, you must configure the BrailleSense to access each

of your e-mail accounts by entering your e-mail account information.

To execute the e-mail program, navigate to "E-mail" in the "program" menu, by

pressing "Space-1" and "Space-4" and press "Enter", or just press E from the

main program menu. You can launch the "E-mail program from anywhere on the

unit by pressing "F1-E".
