Hello Kerie,

While I can't answer your question about instant messaging, perhaps I can help out with the others. Like several people I know, I use both Windows as well as Mac OS Snow Leopard. Please find my answers below each question.

Hi all,

I'm a very new mac and voice over user, I just had some questions.

First, about mail. I have not set up mail yet, as I wanted to ask some advice. I have a Gmail account, and know from reading, that you may set up Gmail to work in apple mail using either pop or imap, I'm just wondering, does it make a difference in terms of voice over, whether I use pop or imap?

I don't think it does, Kerie. While I use IMAP with my Gmail account, I have never heard anything to the effect that POP wouldn't work.

Next, are the mail boxes which can be created in apple mail meant to be used as substitutes for folders like those which can be created in outlook using windows, say for lists? And if I'm subscribed to many lists, can I, and do I, need to create rules so the messages from lists go to the mail boxes, and don't just go to my inbox?

Mail lets you create mailboxes into which you can organize materials. You can create rules to automatically have specific messages placed in specific mailboxes or, alternatively, you can manually move them to these mailboxes from the inbox.

Next, when it comes to instant messaging, can aidium connect to windows live, or am I best installing windows live for Mac, which I believe, correct me if I'm wrong, is available from Microsoft?

This was the question I couldn't answer.

And lastly, for now, is there a way to find out the title of a window, like in jaws for windows?

Kerie, using the Voice Over keys (Command Option) along with F2 tells you the title of the window that you are currently in. This command works very well in the Mail program.

I hope you all won't mind me asking what could be considered by some as silly questions, but like I say, I'm very new to apple and voice over, so just thought someone might give me some advice.

Thanks for any help in advance,

Kerie

Kerie, the more I use the Mac, the more I like it! I hope that you have a similar experience.

Best regards,

Mike
