On your first question Tim, it is pop. Secondly, When I load mail, it has focus on the inbox of my Gmail account. I then tab into my list of emails. If there is an email I wish to read, I press VO plus J to enter the body of the text. To return to the list of emails again I press VO plus J again. To move back to my list of mail boxes, I press shift together with the tab key.
As I write this reply, Mail seems to be behaving much better. Bear with me for a moment and I shall try to explain what I done. As I have said in an earlier email I have not been on my Mac for quite a while. However during that time I changed my email provider to Google. Since that time I have been using Outlook on my Windows machine. Of course, I had made sure to check the appropriate check box telling Outlook not to leave a copy of an email on the server once it had been downloaded. Guess what Tim, might as well not have bothered. On the Gmail site there is a combo box which must be set to remove emails once your email client has downloaded it from the site. Now began the fun. When I set up my new account in Mail over forty thousand emails landed in my inbox. I began the process of deleting them, but of course, as fast as I deleted them another copy was downloaded to my inbox. This is when I went to Gmail and found what was wrong and put matters right. I think poor old Mail just got totally overwhelmed. Once my mail boxes on Google had been completely zeroed I then deleted my Gmail account together with the account from my previous provider. I then created my new account and was relieved to see that all my mailboxes were empty. So far, Mail is behaving as it should and is a pleasure to use. On the point about my issue with focus Tim, I agree totally. It is not a problem for me to get around this minor issue. However, for my wife it is rather more of a headache. I do not have to sign in when I boot up my Mac each time, but she has too. I think this has something to do with iCloud. It is then that the problem with focus can be a bit of a pain. I have a friend who has the exact same problem and it is driving him up the wall. Perhaps you, or someone else on the list, might know how to bypass this login screen.
