Hi Patrick,
I recently did this with an Apex and it was not difficult once I 
found the information I needed from google, such as the name of 
the servers for sending and receiving mail and their respective 
port numbers.  This page contains the information you need from 
google:
http://support.google.com/mail/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=13287

As for setting up the account on the Apex, I do not remember the 
exact steps.  In Keymail, you want the settings menu and there 
should be an option to add an account.  The braille note manual 
has a helpful section on how to fill out the boxes on the account 
setup page.  It should tell you how to put the info from the link 
above into your braille note.

The downside to using Keymail, as I understand it, is that it 
does not support imap.  What that means is that , it does not 
sync with your gmail account, but only downloads messages from 
the server.  So, if you deleted a message on your braille note, 
it would not automatically delete it from the server etc.  As far 
as I can tell Keymail doesn't support imap.  Does anyone else 
know different?

 Hey List,
 I've heard a lot about e-mail with the Braillenote, but I've 
never
 actually done it before. If I have a gmail account, how do I 
connect
 the Braillenote to that account to send/receive e-mails?
