Carolyn, When I went to the Apple store for a demo and ended up buying one, the sales person gave me a set of earphones to use while he demonstrated Voiceover. It greatly cut down on the general noise yet I could hear the sales person just fine. Bring some with you or ask the trainer for a set. You shouldn't have to suffer all that noise after paying the big bucks.

Hi Olivia: One to one is going well. I'm having a little trouble though because we are learning in a very noisy setting, and with my hearing loss, it's sometimes hard to hear and interact with the trainer and dear Alex. But we are making progress, and the more I work with the mac and find my questions, the easier it is for my trainer to help me solve things. I also find Jaws a little clearer of pronunciation than Alex. Somehow, the Mac speech seems just a little more primitive. For example, the word "thanks" ,swhen taken by itself sounds almost more like a noise to me. But, of course, that could be a quirk of my hearing.<grin> In today's session, she taught me how to show date received within the collumns, but she hasn't been able to make the "sort by date received" stay that way. So, each time I open Mail, I have to go into view and check it again. We also worked on how to work with mail rules, such as landing mail from certain people in certain mailboxes. I'm planning to work more exclusively with the Mac this week, so I can ask more specific questions. Thanks for asking.

I'm still wondering about the shift-backslash Sarah talked about. Well, off to the Apple store. Perhaps I can bring back some useful tidbits?:) Carolyn ----- Original Message ----- From: Olivia Norman <mailto:olivianor...@gmail.com> To: list voiceover <mailto:macvisionaries@googlegroups.com> Sent: Wednesday, May 12, 2010 1:47 PM Subject: Re: mail settings?

But, that setting doesn't stick when I exit mail. They then seem to sort by alphabet, or sometimes by thread. Is there a more permanent way to have them sort by date?
