OK I must not be getting something! I've tried to follow the directions but I do not get the desired result! I'm using Mountain Lion and latest safari I do not know or use chrome and only use VO! So I find the all mail and get into the messages table and press *A but get no indication that messages are selected by moving out of the table! So going by the info that VO will not tell me I pressed Y then £ but All mail stays full! I do not get any heading when going left to then go right as suggested to options! I've wanted to get rid of All Mail for ages so when this was posted was really glad but just cannot get it to work! Any help on where I might be going wrong! And just in case because you used Capital A after trying it without I also tried Shift A after * but still no Go! *smile* Colin
