Hello,

I recently purchased a BraileNote Apex. Before that, I used an mPower for several years. I never used my mPower with our home WIFI network, because the type of security our network uses wouldn't work with it.

I have now set up the Apex with our wireless network and with my Roadrunner email account, but I'm having trouble retrieving email. I sometimes get an error message claiming that the server is locked for maintenance. I've tried turning off my computer and cell phone, in case they're interfering in some way. I've also reset my BN. Nothing works, except waiting a few hours before trying again.

When I am able to retrieve email, the BN retrieves all the messages on the server, including the ones I previously deleted off the BN. I leave the messages on the server, so I can access them with other devices, but as I said, the Apex even downloads those I have already read and deleted from the BN. Is there some way to tell it to only download the new messages that have come in since the last time I retrieved mail?

I don't know if the BN would do better with my Gmail account. I set it up with Roadrunner first, because I use that account a lot more.

One other question: Is there a way to get the BN to sort messages starting with the most recent? It always shows me my older messages first.

Thanks for any help,
Paula Muysenberg
