Hello Daniel, The way I use OSX Mail, which does have VoiceOver state how many messages are in the thread, is to use the Standard layout, as opposed to the Classic layout. As I have never used the Classic layout, I don’t know if there is a way in which to hear how many messages are in a thread. Classic layout users will have to chime in on that.
I am, without a doubt, the number one fan of the Standard layout, with the Preview Pane enabled. In my never-to-be humble opinion, I think that it is the single best feature in OSX in terms of processing hundreds and hundreds of emails in a matter of mere moments. Just so you know, the Standard layout of the Mail app in OSX is the default layout. In my experience, I have found that over 95% of the Macs I come across, owned by sighted users, adopt this configuration in the mail app. The advantage to me is that I, being intimately comfortable with this layout, have absolutely no problem in supporting them or in quickly moving to a new Mac, if only temporarily. Using the Standard layout, from the View menu, select Organize by Conversation, then select Collapse all Conversations. That should get you started. Good Luck and Enjoy, Mark -----Original Message----- From: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com [mailto:macvisionaries@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Daniel McGee Sent: Friday, April 24, 2015 7:46 PM To: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com Subject: organising by threaded conversations on Mac Hi all, for those who may use threaded conversation view on the mac, are there any tips on how you would use it effectively? For example, I can tell if a thread is unread but am unable to tell how many messages are unread. Once, I've opened it. Just really share with me how you would use this on the mac because I've sort of gotten use to it on the iphone now and would like to try and do so on the mac as well. Using OS X Yosemite V10.10.3 Thanks in advance for any experiences you may share. Daniel -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.
