[ale] AAAARRRRG! #@$%#$%$%^$% Don't upgrade K9 Mail!

[Ron Frazier (ALE)]

No problem.  I'll look it up.

I think I've about got the tablet email working again.  I've been going 
through the archive of emails on my laptop to determine which ones to 
forward back to the tablet.  I can use any of my pc's to read email.  
However, I generally rely on the list on the tablet to keep track of 
what needs my attention.

Out of 8000 messages in the archive, I found about 500 that I could 
forward to the tablet so I can have them for reference.  Rather than 
spending all night doing that, I've identified about 70 that I actually 
am going to forward.  Once I do that, star and sort them, and recheck 
the settings on K9, I should be back in business.

You can go to menu, sort by, and select starred.  This puts all the starred messages at the top.  So, for example, I might star all the messages in this thread and push them aside for future reference.  Over time, this leads to many starred messages at the top of the inbox.  I know, you're supposed to star the important ones, but this works for me.  But, it makes me have to scroll down and down to get to the new messages.

All the messages I've starred go to the bottom of the list, and my new messages pop up at the top, and I don't have to do any scrolling.  So, now it works even better for me.  Very cool.

(PS - If you email me and don't get a quick response, you might want to
call on the phone.  I get about 300 emails per day from alternate energy
mailing lists and such.  I don't always see new email messages very quickly.)
