I know this should be very easy and everyone on this site besides me probably knows how to do this except me but how do you access your home folder?

Also is there a way to make email app see the contents of your homefolder and not just the My Docs folder? I want to email some items not in the My Docs folder.

hmmm, I thought the MyDocs Folder is the home folder?
but you can access the whole file system over the XTerminal
to attach other Files then these in MyDocs, I would copy them to the home folder or create a symbolic linc (ln -s) with the terminal (basic linux knowleges needed)

MyDocs is mounted on a vfat filesystem(27G) and the home you are mentioning is on a ubifs filesystem (2 G )
Cant create links to do this AFAIK

*EDIT*
what I normally do is copy my stuff that I want to attach to the /media/mmc1 ( memory card ) folder and then attach it.

and just FYI, you cant copy across different filesystems with that command , check my previous post
Was really trying to copy my conboy notes. Apparently the device backup app copies them so may not need to go into the home folder but will give it a go and see.
