8. E-mail
The e-mail program is used to communicate with others by sending
messages using the Internet. To use the e-mail program, you must have
your own e-mail account, provided to you by your Internet account provider
or a free account such as Gmail or hotmail.
Your e-mail account needs to support POP3 (Post Office Protocol 3) and
SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) to be accessed with the Braille Sense
U2 QWERTY. You should check with your Internet account provider to make
sure that your provider supports POP3 and SMTP.
Before you use the e-mail program, you must configure the Braille Sense U2
QWERTY to access the Internet, (see section 17.9 "Internet Setup").
When checking the "Inbox" in the e-mail program, the menus are different
from the menus that are used when you are writing an e-mail. Read this
chapter carefully, before you use the e-mail program on the Braille Sense U2
QWERTY.
