I've had similar things happen with RSS feeds. While the messages are
downloading, I occasionally check the status of the downloads by hitting
the status key twice. It is almost like letting the unit know you're
still paying attention to it. As much as I love the way this machine
handles e-mail, I also am paranoid enough that I have it set to leave my
messages on the server.

Subject: [icon-discuss] power off question
Hi,
Last night, I went to download email.
I have my email set to delete messages from the server, and the power
off is
set to the default.
The download seemed to be taking a long time, and I checked the status,
which said it was downloading 44 messages.
I was not doing anything else with the Braille Plus at the time, and let
it
continue, figuring that there might be an attachment which could be
holding
things up.
Then, the unit said it had reached a period of inactivity, and shut
itself
off.
The click and snip sound had still been going when it shut itself off.
I turned it back on at once, and did still seem to be in the email
program.
I hit cancel, but the unit had gone into flakey mode at that point.
I did a reboot, and things went back to normal.
However, when I went back to email, my 44 messages, which had not
downloaded
had disappeared into Cyber Space, no doubt lost forever.
My question is, should the unit have powered off like that when it was
still
trying to download email?
If, an attachment was the problem, is there a way to request the email
program to not download attachments?
I tried to find such a setting, but didn't find it if it is there.
Not a happy camper about the lost messages, but would like to know how
to
prevent this from occurring again.
