You need to have an e-mail account created prior to using the BlindShell e-mail
client. The BlindShell e-mail account is capable of managing one e-mail account at a
time.
Logging in to an e-mail account.
During the first start of the Email application, you need to log into your e-mail
account. To do so, select the "New account" menu item. Enter your email address,
SMTP server address, IMAP server address, and your password. You can find
information about the SMTP and IMAP server addresses on the website of your e-
mail provider. After selecting the "Save" menu item, an attempt will be made to log
into your email. If successful, the menu item "New email" will be shown. Logging
into your email account might take some time, depending on your Internet
connection. You can change your e-mail account information or delete the account
from the device via the "Edit account" menu item.
Important notice: In some cases, you need to explicitly allow third-party applications
to remotely access your e-mail, or you have to enable the IMAP access for your e-
mail account.
Writing a new e-mail
To write a new e-mail select the "New email" menu item. In the "Recipients" menu
item you can either enter an e-mail address from your contact list (selected contact
has to have an e-mail address assigned) or type in the e-mail address manually. You
can also add multiple recipients. Fill in the "Subject" and "Text" of the e-mail, and
send it afterward by selecting the "Send" menu item. The menu with the written e-
mail will stay open until the e-mail is successfully sent. Once the e-mail is sent, you
will be moved back to the main menu of the e-mail account. If the sending of the e-
mail fails, you can try to send the e-mail again, or leave the writing of the e-mail,
saving the e-mail to drafts.
You can send pictures or voice records from your phone as "Attachments".
When you receive an email, after selecting the email with the long press of the
screen, the list of attachments will appear. You can also access the "Add
attachment" menu item where you can attach either voice records or pictures from
your phone. Previously added attachments can be removed by selecting them and
confirming that you want to remove it.
If you are not able to, or do not want to send the e-mail right away, you can go back
by the long-press with two fingers which will bring up these two options:
•
Save to drafts - finish writing the e-mail and save the progress as a draft.
•
Don't save to drafts - finish writing the e-mail, discard it.
You can return to the drafted e-mail later by opening it from the "Drafts" menu
item.
Browsing e-mails
To browse e-mails in your inbox, or other folders, select the respective menu item
and then move within the folder by going back or forward. To read the contents of a
specific e-mail, select it. When reading the contents of an e-mail, selecting it again
will bring the following menu items:
