Mountain Lion Mail

2012-07-26 Thread Lisette Wesseling
 Hi folks
 I'm afraid I got a bit confused with the flurry of emails on this subject.
 Has anybody found a way to get rid of those buttons between the mailboxes 
 table and  message table? I like to be able to tab from one table  to the 
 other, and not have to hop over sort by date , hide mail activity button, 
 mail action button and   New mailbox action button.
 Is there a way to get rid of these. I have put the sliders up to 100 per 
 cent. I'm not using classic view.
 Any ideas?
 I love the calendar in ML. The install was easy peasy and so far I am think 
 VO is snappier. I'm using Karen whose chip monk bug is still not fixed.

Dunno about getting rid of unwanted controls but what I do in the modern view 
to hop between the mail box list and the list of messages is press VO-J; it 
toggles me back and forth cleanly between these two lists.  I have the preview 
pane closed down completely so VO-J won't pop me in there.

I haven't installed ML yet, but if it still uses the tables, I use VO-command-T 
to move to the message content table from the message list table.

Still tuck getting rid of preview pane in Mountain Lion Mail.

2012-07-26 Thread Veronica Elsea
Okay, feeling kind of stupid here. I thought I followed the directions I saw on 
this list earlier, for getting rid of the preview pane in Mountain Lion mail, 
but it didn't look the same on mine.
I have a list of mailboxes and for each mailbox, a bunch of messages. In Lion, 
I'd just tab from the mailbox and I'd be in the list of messages, and could 
shift-tab back to the mailbox list. 
So after upgrading mail, I found myself on the list of mailboxes. I 
uninteracted with it and foud one vertical splitter. So I moved it to 100, but 
nothing changed. So I looked around again to see if I should have gone to the 
right of the messages, but just found a horrizontal splitter there. I moved it 
to 100 anyway, just in case. But I still have the new mailbox button and 
possibly something else in between my mailboxes table and my messages table. 
If someone can tell me where I went wrong, I'd sure appreciate it. So far my 
snooping around hasn't yielded anything brilliant. Thanks.

Re: Please help, headers in Lion Mail.

2012-04-24 Thread Matthew Campbell
Hi all.
Apple care helped me with a solution to the header problem.
I feel like an idiot for not trying such a simple solution lol.
I'll outline it for those who may have this issue in the future.
First, make sure that you hit the show details link in the header group. Next, 
scroll down the header text to where the email addresses are shown. Finally, 
find the place where it says and X more with X being a number. When you're 
there, VO Shift space to click this area. The email addresses will magically 
appear.
Then, you can do what you want with them.
If the VO shift space does not work, you may need to route the mouse with a VO 
command F5 and then VO shift space.
I really love apple care right now.
HTH,
Matthew Campbell.

Re: Disabling the preview pane in Lion mail

2012-04-19 Thread Ioana Gandrabur
Hi,

In my case I turned it off to avoid messages I pass through to review with vo 
in list as read. It made things convusing to keep track of what i read or what 
I did not yet.

I just press enter on a conversation and it opens in new window. I am having 
problems though with deleting the messages individually in this case as they 
appear doubled or something of the sort. I end up reviewing them and deleting 
in message list after closing conversation window with command w. 
Would love to hear of a better way to delete them if any of you knows one.

take care,

Ioana

 Hi Ioana,
 
 That's an Oops!.  I keep forgetting that the VoiceOver Getting Started
 manual used to recommend that you should not turn on Mouse Keys if you
 have NumPad Commander turned on.  I only remember that from the Leopard
 guide.  You have a Mac Mini, and are using a full-sized keyboard with a
 numpad.  I'm used to using the laptop keyboard, so I only turn on NumPad
 Commander when I want to attach a USB numpad or do fancy simulations of
 numpad actions with the top row of number keys in combination with an
 arrow key.  (This will let you access the unmodified NumPad Commander
 sequences for the same keys on the numeric keypad.)
 
 What happened when support for the embedded numeric keypad in laptops
 went away in Leopard, I found I could use some of the keys by turning
 MouseKeys on.  But the side effect was that some of your control keys
 (like the Command key, as I recall) don't work in VoiceOver any more, so
 that is doubtless why they told us not to try using both NumPad Commander
 and Mouse Keys simultaneously in Leopard.  In later versions of OS X I
 bet they simply disabled some of the functions if you have both modes
 activated.
 
 Regardless of the Oops!, people who have full keyboards with NumPad
 Commander activated can use their numpad to click on the splitter for the
 Preview pane in Mail by pressing Control+5 in Snow Leopard and Lion.
 The 5 is the key on the numpad.  No need to turn on Mouse Keys.

Re: Disabling the preview pane in Lion mail

2012-04-19 Thread Steve Holmes
What I do with threads generally is to press right arrow to expand the
current thread (need to have quick nav turned off) and then the
messages can be opened for reading, deleted or whatever on an
individual basis.  Or if I wish to delete the whole thread, then I
close the thread by pressing left arrow if if isn't closed already and
then delete with one command.

Actually in my case, since I'm using IMAP with gmail, I need to move
them to Trash instead so I then do VO-Shift-M to open the context menu
and choose move to folder and pick Trash within the [Gmail] tree.
After doing this at least once I can then use the move to Trash
again command instead.  Sorry if that's a lengthy explanation but
mere deleting in gmail may cause all your deleted messages to remain
in your All mail folder for ever.

 Hi Anne,
 
 Just as an added comment, in situations like this one, where I want to make

 click with trackpad or mouse is required, I use mouse keys instead to 
 perform the click.  After routing my mouse cursor to the VoiceOver cursor

 keys, then I double tap the i key instead of performing a double click 
 with mouse or trackpad, and turn mouse keys off again by quickly pressing 
 the option key 5 times.  As you know, this requires having the box in the 
 System Preferences  Universal Access  Mouse  Trackpad tab checked for 
 Press the Option key five times to turn Mouse Keys on or off.  This will 
 work whether or not Trackpad Commander is turned off.  Also, you can 
 additionally check the option for Ignore built-in trackpad when Mouse Keys 
 is on if you press (with VO-Space) the button for Trackpad Options… on 
 the Mouse  Trackpad tab of the Universal Access menu of System Preferences 
 in Lion.
 
 This is for cases where people have difficulty with clicking the mouse or 
 trackpad without moving the pointer, but it's useful in general to know.  
 It's most useful when using applications which are transitioning in 
 accessibility, where neither VO-Space or VO-Shift-Space will work to click 
 on controls, and you need to perform physical clicks.  Turning mouse keys on 
 and clicking with the i key always works as an alternative in these 
 instances.

 Go to the horizontal splitter above the body of the message using the VO

 trackpad or the mouse, depending on what kind of computer you have. If you 
 move the mouse pointer even slightly before the double click, it won't work.

Re: Disabling the preview pane in Lion mail

2012-04-16 Thread David Griffith
Under Lion the NumPad Commander 5 button is now perform action. That is the 
same as VO Spacebar.
However on my setup at least control numpad 5 produces a mouse click. I cannot 
honestly remember if I set this up or whether it comes by default.
It is easy to set up if this is not the default.David Griffith.

 Hi Mike,
 
 Double-clicking on the horizontal splitter with VO-Shift-Space (e.g., by 
 holding down the Control, Option, and Shift keys while double tapping the

 ability went away in Snow Leopard.  There are definitely other examples of

 may be able to press the 5 key on the numeric keypad with NumPad Commander

Hi Ioana,

That's an Oops!.  I keep forgetting that the VoiceOver Getting Started manual 
used to recommend that you should not turn on Mouse Keys if you have NumPad 
Commander turned on.  I only remember that from the Leopard guide.  You have a 
Mac Mini, and are using a full-sized keyboard with a numpad.  I'm used to using 
the laptop keyboard, so I only turn on NumPad Commander when I want to attach a 
USB numpad or do fancy simulations of numpad actions with the top row of number 
keys in combination with an arrow key.  (This will let you access the 
unmodified NumPad Commander sequences for the same keys on the numeric keypad.)

What happened when support for the embedded numeric keypad in laptops went away 
in Leopard, I found I could use some of the keys by turning MouseKeys on.  But 
the side effect was that some of your control keys (like the Command key, as I 
recall) don't work in VoiceOver any more, so that is doubtless why they told us 
not to try using both NumPad Commander and Mouse Keys simultaneously in 
Leopard.  In later versions of OS X I bet they simply disabled some of the 
functions if you have both modes activated.

Regardless of the Oops!, people who have full keyboards with NumPad Commander 
activated can use their numpad to click on the splitter for the Preview pane in 
Mail by pressing Control+5 in Snow Leopard and Lion.  The 5 is the key on 
the numpad.  No need to turn on Mouse Keys.

HTH.  Cheers,

Hi Ioana,

If you're using the IOGear Bluetooth keyboard, I'm not sure how that works on 
the splitters.  (The small keyboard description was the give-away -- everyone 
who recommends that keyboard for touch typing adds the comment, but I have 
small hands.)  Yes, that keyboard has a num lock key in the F-key row, just as 
my 12 PowerBook G4 laptop does.  (I got this laptop when I first joined the 
Macvisionaries list, back when I still used a dial-up connection.  It was my 
first Mac, and it still works.)  And you can use that laptop to type numpad 
style numbers with and embedded keyboard using the Fn key plus the letters on 
the right side of the keyboard (in the numpad region), just as I can on the 
PowerBook (in Tiger). I think you can activate the numeric functions when 
paired to the Mac by pressing the Numlock key -- which may be F6 -- without 
turning on NumPad Commander.  But I don't think the modified NumPad Commander 
keys will work on this, such as using the Control key.  I can't be sure, 
because I don't use this keyboard with my laptop, and only checked out its 
pairing behavior to learn what it could do.  I'd have to use this in place of 
my Mac's laptop keyboard to check this out.

HTH. Cheers,

Esther

 the top row of number keys in combination with an arrow key.  (This will let 
 you access the unmodified NumPad Commander sequences for the same keys on 
 the numeric keypad.)
 
 What happened when support for the embedded numeric keypad in laptops went 
 away in Leopard, I found I could use some of the keys by turning MouseKeys 
 on.  But the side effect was that some of your control keys (like the 
 Command key, as I recall) don't work in VoiceOver any more, so that is 
 doubtless why they told us not to try using both NumPad Commander and Mouse 
 Keys simultaneously in Leopard.  In later versions of OS X I bet they simply 
 disabled some of the functions if you have both modes activated.
 
 Regardless of the Oops!, people who have full keyboards with NumPad 
 Commander activated can use their numpad to click on the splitter for the 
 Preview pane in Mail by pressing Control+5 in Snow Leopard and Lion.  The 
 5 is the key on the numpad.  No need to turn on Mouse Keys.
 
 HTH.  Cheers,
 
 Esther

 HI all,
 
 I had a strange behavior with Esther's procedure. I placed mouse pointer on 
 vertical splitter, turned mouse keys on and when pressing I key just heard 
 a ding. It worked when I performed the FN +i on my keyboard to get the 
 numpad  5 but only after turning vo off. What ever works as they say.
 I also tried it with quicknav on or off in case the quicknav keys were 
 interfering with mouse keys but nope.
 I a not even going to go there to try to get why this is. IF others are so 
 inlined have fun puzzling it out. Smile.

 Hi Buddy and Jon,
 
 This was interesting.  I just re-enabled and disabled the Preview pane in 
 the new mail view for Lion by clicking on the vertical splitter, but I did 
 it with mouse keys.  I was using Mouse pointer ignores VoiceOver Cursor 
 for my navigation tracking options under VoiceOver Utility, with the other 
 4 boxes checked for cursors to track each other (keyboard focus, insertion 
 point, and VoiceOver cursor).
 
 In the new mail view mode in Lion, navigating horizontally (with VO-Right

 Mailboxes, Vertical Splitter, Message Column, Vertical Splitter, 
 then Message Content if the preview pane is not hidden.
 
 Once I'm navigate past the Message Column to the vertical splitter, I 
 can move my mouse pointer to my VoiceOver 

Disabling the preview pane in Lion mail

Hi all, I am using a Mac with the latest of Lion. Can anyone tell me how to 
disable the preview pane in Mac mail. I had some old directions for, I think, 
Leopard but they don't seem to work.

Hello Franc,

First of all, you need to be in classic view to do this. You also need to have 
the Trackpad Commander turned off.

Go to the horizontal splitter above the body of the message using the VO keys, 
then bring the mouse (VO-Cmd-F5) and double click using either the trackpad or 
the mouse, depending on what kind of computer you have. If you move the mouse 
pointer even slightly before the double click, it won't work.

Cheers,

Anne

Re: Disabling the preview pane in Lion mail

2012-04-15 Thread Esther
Hi Anne,

Just as an added comment, in situations like this one, where I want to make 
sure that the mouse pointer doesn't move when I double click, and a physical 
click with trackpad or mouse is required, I use mouse keys instead to perform 
the click.  After routing my mouse cursor to the VoiceOver cursor with 
VO-Command-F5, I quickly press the option key 5 times to turn on mouse keys, 
then I double tap the i key instead of performing a double click with mouse 
or trackpad, and turn mouse keys off again by quickly pressing the option key 5 
times.  As you know, this requires having the box in the System Preferences  
Universal Access  Mouse  Trackpad tab checked for Press the Option key five 
times to turn Mouse Keys on or off.  This will work whether or not Trackpad 
Commander is turned off.  Also, you can additionally check the option for 
Ignore built-in trackpad when Mouse Keys is on if you press (with VO-Space) 
the button for Trackpad Options… on the Mouse  Trackpad tab of the Universal 
Access menu of System Preferences in Lion.

This is for cases where people have difficulty with clicking the mouse or 
trackpad without moving the pointer, but it's useful in general to know.  It's 
most useful when using applications which are transitioning in accessibility, 
where neither VO-Space or VO-Shift-Space will work to click on controls, and 
you need to perform physical clicks.  Turning mouse keys on and clicking with 
the i key always works as an alternative in these instances.

HTH.  Cheers,

Esther

Re: Disabling the preview pane in Lion mail

2012-04-15 Thread Esther
Hi Mike,

Double-clicking on the horizontal splitter with VO-Shift-Space (e.g., by 
holding down the Control, Option, and Shift keys while double tapping the space 
bar) used to work in Leopard to hide the Preview pane.  I think this ability 
went away in Snow Leopard.  There are definitely other examples of instances 
where you need a hardware key click to work.  I think that you may be able to 
press the 5 key on the numeric keypad with NumPad Commander to click, as 
well, but since I use a laptop I'd have to attach a USB numeric keypad to try 
this.

HTH.  Cheers,

Esther

Hi,

If you're in the new mail view, and not classic, it's the vertical splitter 
that hides the preview pane. And, indeed, you can double click with 
VO+shift+space to move it. I just did, both to open and to close the preview

I can't say how this works with classic view though, sorry.

 If you're in the new mail view, and not classic, it's the vertical splitter 
 that hides the preview pane. And, indeed, you can double click with 
 VO+shift+space to move it. I just did, both to open and to close the preview

 I can't say how this works with classic view though, sorry.

 Hi Mike,
 
 Double-clicking on the horizontal splitter with VO-Shift-Space (e.g., by 
 holding down the Control, Option, and Shift keys while double tapping the 
 space bar) used to work in Leopard to hide the Preview pane.  I think this 
 ability went away in Snow Leopard.  There are definitely other examples of 
 instances where you need a hardware key click to work.  I think that you 
 may be able to press the 5 key on the numeric keypad with NumPad 
 Commander to click, as well, but since I use a laptop I'd have to attach a 
 USB numeric keypad to try this.

 Hi Anne,
 
 Just as an added comment, in situations like this one, where I want to 
 make sure that the mouse pointer doesn't move when I double click, and a 
 physical click with trackpad or mouse is required, I use mouse keys 
 instead to perform the click.  After routing my mouse cursor to the 
 VoiceOver cursor with VO-Command-F5, I quickly press the option key 5 
 times to turn on mouse keys, then I double tap the i key instead of 
 performing a double click with mouse or trackpad, and turn mouse keys off 
 again by quickly pressing the option key 5 times.  As you know, this 
 requires having the box in the System Preferences  Universal Access  
 Mouse  Trackpad tab checked for Press the Option key five times to turn 
 Mouse Keys on or off.  This will work whether or not Trackpad Commander 
 is turned off.  Also, you can additionally check the option for Ignore 
 built-in trackpad when Mouse Keys is on if you press (with VO-Space) the 
 button for Trackpad Options… on the Mouse  Trackpad tab of the 
 Universal Access menu of System Preferences in Lion.
 
 This is for cases where people have difficulty with clicking the mouse or 
 trackpad without moving the pointer, but it's useful in general to know.  
 It's most useful when using applications which are transitioning in 
 accessibility, where neither VO-Space or VO-Shift-Space will work to 
 click on controls, and you need to perform physical clicks.  Turning 
 mouse keys on and clicking with the i key always works as an 
 alternative in these instances.
 
 HTH.  Cheers,

 Hello Franc,
 
 First of all, you need to be in classic view to do this. You also need 
 to have the Trackpad Commander turned off.
 
 Go to the horizontal splitter above the body of the message using the VO 
 keys, then bring the mouse (VO-Cmd-F5) and double click using either the 
 trackpad or the mouse, depending on what kind of computer you have. If 
 you move the mouse pointer even slightly before the double click, it 
 won't work.
 
 Cheers,

Re: Disabling the preview pane in Lion mail

2012-04-15 Thread Esther
Hi Buddy and Jon,

This was interesting.  I just re-enabled and disabled the Preview pane in the 
new mail view for Lion by clicking on the vertical splitter, but I did it with 
mouse keys.  I was using Mouse pointer ignores VoiceOver Cursor for my 
navigation tracking options under VoiceOver Utility, with the other 4 boxes 
checked for cursors to track each other (keyboard focus, insertion point, and 
VoiceOver cursor).

In the new mail view mode in Lion, navigating horizontally (with VO-Right arrow 
or just right arrow in Quick Nav mode) starting from the Mailbox list, which I 
have set to be shown under the View options (toggle between show and hide with 
Command-Shift-M), I hear VoiceOver announce: Mailboxes, Vertical Splitter, 
Message Column, Vertical Splitter, then Message Content if the preview 
pane is not hidden.

Once I'm navigate past the Message Column to the vertical splitter, I can 
move my mouse pointer to my VoiceOver cursor with VO-Command-F5.  Then I can 
turn on mouse keys by pressing the option key 5 times (as I have this 
configured under System Preferences  Universal Access  Mouse  Trackpad).  If 
I double tap the i key I can hide the preview pane. This moves the vertical 
splitter to the far right, eliminating the Message Content.  I can also 
reverse the instructions and navigate to the new position of the vertical 
splitter, route my mouse cursor to my VoiceOver cursor again with 
VO-Command-F5, and double tap the i key to show the preview pane again.  I do 
have to remember to turn mouse keys off again by pressing the option key 5 
times if I want to type with other letter keys.  I haven't been able to use 
VO-Shift-Space for clicking on the vertical splitter.  I can do show or hide 
the preview pane in the new mail view for Lion whether or not I'm in full 
screen mode.  When I switch between the new view and classic mail view the 
preview pane is either present or gone consistently in both views.

Buddy is correct that the it's the vertical splitter in the new mail view that 
works analogous to the horizontal splitter in classic mail view to show or hide 
the preview pane. 

HTH.  Cheers,

Esther

 Oh wait. I just did something dumb. Never mind. I should maybe actually do 
 this with Lion. LOL

Re: lion mail layout messages marked as read as I pas through them?

2012-04-05 Thread Steve Holmes
No signature seen here.

Iona, I also have this same problem.  Having the checkbox unchecked
for threaded mail does help but you're right; it still marks them as
read when you cursor by the single messages.  I have number of preview
lines set to None but still have the problem.  When I asked about this
some time ago on another list, it had been suggested that I use
classic mode.  Not sure I want to go that route and besides, it still
marked messages read as I went by them so I find myself sticking to
mutt on my linux box but that's hardly the solution here.  Another
thing I have done which keeps mail from being marked read is to turn
off the VO cursor tracking with BO-Shift-F3 and use VO - arrow keys to
scroll down the list and hear the subject fields and I think most of
the time, hear the message status flags too. But then you would have
to bring the live cursor down to catch up with VO and proceed the ones
you want.  Again, this is also quite awkward.

I would be interested in more ideas to deal with mail on Lion.  I
think in the Apple world, the mail app on the iPod is better than the
one found on the mac.

Hopefully, this will be addressed before the release of Mountain Lion.

Re: lion mail layout messages marked as read as I pas through them?

2012-03-30 Thread Jennifer Perdue
Hi,

I like to use the VO J command to go from message title to message content.  It 
makes things a lot faster for me.

Oh, can someone tell me if my signature is going through?

Thanks.

 Thanks this makes more sense, but this does not solve single messages being 
 marked as read. As  workaround I turned off completely the content column and 
 just open the messages I want with command o. Still should there be an other 
 method to do this without turning that column off completely I would love to 
 hear about it.

 When I do this every message or conversation is marked read as I vo through 
 the list.
 Maybe I was not clear in detailing my problem. I will try to explain again 
 my issue:
 In message column I use vo left and right to navigate the list and as I do 
 this messages are marked as read, although I did not tab to the preview

 In Mail Preferences, go to the View tab and press VO-space. Navigate to

How can I check if reply was sent in lion mail layout

2012-03-29 Thread Ioana Gandrabur
HI all,
An other mail question from a newly with lion mail layout:
IS there a way to see the status of reply being sent or not in this view? In 
classic layout you would have a column that would say if reply was sent.

Thanks,

Re: How can I check if reply was sent in lion mail layout

2012-03-29 Thread Kawal Gucukoglu
Hi Ioana again.

Normally the new reply gets attached to the end of the conversation if you are 
viewing the conversation left to right with VO.  Or the new message will appear 
first if you have deleted the other messages from the conversations.  I hope 
this is not too confusing for you and others.

Kawal.

saving attachments in lion mail

2011-11-22 Thread Rachel Magario
Hello everyone,

I am using classic view on lion mail and I am not being able to just move to 
save, where I could choose save all or choose a specific file to save and the 
location for it.
I can do a  vo shift m and that gives me an option to safe attachments, but 
still it does not let me save all when I have more than one file.
Any other ways to get to save all?
Thanks,
Rachel.

Hi Rachel,

If you interact with the message content table, you should find a message 
headers group. Interact with that, then find the Save popupbutton. Press it 
and you'll get a menu from which you'll be able to select Save All. Hope this 
helps.

A Quick Tip for Those Now Using Control-Tab in Lion Mail 7.2

2011-10-22 Thread M. Taylor
Hello Everyone,

As has been noted in previous messages, it is now necessary to add the
[Control] key to the [Tab] key in order to quickly jump to the Message
Content Area when Lion 7.2 Mail is set to its default 3-column view.  

Let's hope that Apple addresses this so that we can, once again, return to
only needing to press the [Tab] key to accomplish this jump.  

For those of us using an Apple keyboard that only has one [Control] key,
said key being on the same side of the keyboard as the [Tab] key, this new
key combination can quickly become uncomfortable.

I am delighted to report that, for the time being at least, you can use the
[Command]+[Option] keys as modifiers to the [Tab] in order to quickly jump
to the Message Content Area; this means that you can press the
[Command]+[Option] keys on the right side of the Spacebar while tapping the
[Tab] key, iliminating the need to press the [Control] key altogether. 

Mark
PS
I wonder how many times I can squeeze the word key in to one paragraph?

whereas control-tab, if you're viewing conversations, takes you to the 
conversation level.

 Hello Everyone,
 
 As has been noted in previous messages, it is now necessary to add the
 [Control] key to the [Tab] key in order to quickly jump to the Message
 Content Area when Lion 7.2 Mail is set to its default 3-column view.  
 
 Let's hope that Apple addresses this so that we can, once again, return to
 only needing to press the [Tab] key to accomplish this jump.  
 
 For those of us using an Apple keyboard that only has one [Control] key,
 said key being on the same side of the keyboard as the [Tab] key, this new
 key combination can quickly become uncomfortable.
 
 I am delighted to report that, for the time being at least, you can use the
 [Command]+[Option] keys as modifiers to the [Tab] in order to quickly jump
 to the Message Content Area; this means that you can press the
 [Command]+[Option] keys on the right side of the Spacebar while tapping the
 [Tab] key, iliminating the need to press the [Control] key altogether.

 PS
 I wonder how many times I can squeeze the word key in to one paragraph?

Re: Lion Mail question

2011-10-22 Thread bill holton
Are you using the standard Lion layout or have you gone back to the previous 
version.  In the newer layout I can't figure out how to go down by files.  A 
single field seems to include all the info, there doesn't seem to be a way to 
change to table or list view to easily go down the subject fields.  Wondering 
if there is any way to rearrange these so the subject reads first.  Thanks.

But when I finally remembered the command, I can press command-1 to go to the

see more from, in lion mail

2011-09-20 Thread Paul Erkens
Dear listers,
In the old days, before July this year, lol, we used to see all of the incoming 
message text we received. Nowadays, this is no longer true. If you hear: see 
more from, and then a name, how can you unhide that part of the message text, 
that Lion mail so neatly hides to unclutter the view? See more from, appears to 
be a link, but I have not managed to click on it. Any ideas?

lion mail: add sender, and write new message

2011-09-15 Thread Paul Erkens
Dear listers,
In Lion mail, I would like to add a sender to my address book. I googled for 
it, and I found this to be command shift y. That works. No further questions 
asked. I tried adding the same contact again, but no questions asked, and no 
dupe contacts created in address book. So that is neat.
When I want to write a new message however, I don't know how to pick an 
address. I found that there is an address panel in the window menu of mail, and 
the panel is easy to understand in layout, but when I vo space on a contact 
name, wanting to send him her a new message, then I would expect to be taken to 
a new message, with the to, field already filled in. Instead, Voiceover just 
says confirm, the panel stays open, focus remains where it was. How do I create 
a new email for a person in my address book? I also tried vo spacing on the 
email address of the contact, but this time voiceover says nothing. Doing a Vo 
shift m, or routing the mouse and performing a left click, won't create the new 
message either. 
What am I missing here?

how to continue a draft in lion mail?

2011-09-05 Thread Paul Erkens
Hi list,

I think I found the solution to the question how you can continue working on a 
draft, after you quit it.

1. Open mail and begin a new message. Type some text.
2. Now if you want to do something else and continue working on this message 
later, you press command w to close this new message window. You will be asked 
what to do. Choose: save as draft. Then, quit mail.
3. To continue your draft, fire up mail and open the drafts mailbox, either 
from the mailbox table or from the favorites bar.
4. Now find your message. I had 12 drafts before I found out what to do. So 
choose the message you want to continue on.
5. Now move over to the text area of the message. You can read it as usual, no 
problem. However, Even if you turn quicknav off, even if you press vo space on 
the text, even if you press a routing button on your braille display somewhere 
over the text, no, the cursor will not appear, so no, you just can't continue 
typing.
6. So, after moving to the message text of the draft as in step 5 above, To 
open the draft for further editing, just pretend to send it and hit command 
shift d. This is the keystroke I normally use to send a written message. On a 
locked draft message however, it will not immediately send your message. 
Instead, it will open the message for further editing. Hooray. Edit to your 
liking, and hit command shift d once more to really send it out.
Hth,
Paul.

Re: Searching Lion mail with VoiceOver

2011-08-31 Thread John André Netland
Robert,

You have to first focus on the mailbox you want to search, either a main folder 
or a sub folder. Then press command-option-F to enter the search box in the 
toolbar, enter your search, and use the up/down arrow keys to choose a result. 
Press enter on the result you would like to inspect, and go to the messages 
list. Here you will find all matching results. You can also use the Favorite 
Bar to choose a folder, or select the All checkbox to see results from all of 
your folders.

Hope this helps! :)

not, however, figure out how to use VoiceOver to review the search results. Do 
you all know how to use this search feature with VoiceOver?

Thanks,

Robert Carter

Lion mail search interface and vo

2011-08-25 Thread Paul Erkens
Dear list,

Question is: Once you go to the search field in the toolbar in Lion mail, and 
type something in,
1. Do I press enter afterwards or not?
2. What exactly can I search for? Through subject lines and in the message body 
seems apparent, but can you also search message headers, or find messages with 
an attachment? After having typed the search term, I don't really know what to 
do next. I don't see a menu of some sort. I try to arrow around, and I 
sometimes hit parts of the interface. Can anyone tell how this is layed out, 
and how one should operate it?

Paul.

Hi Paul!
When I use this in SL after typing the search word I stop interacting and then 
get further choices like all mail boxes or the one I'm in like trash then 
choices like sent from subject whole of message then at the end the table of 
results!
Then I just interact with that table and scroll through!

Re: Lion mail search interface and vo

2011-08-25 Thread Paul Erkens
Hi Colin,
Unfortunately, this is what I've been reading so far. But in Lion mail, well, 
at least in my setup and my machine, simply typing a search in the mail 
toolbar, stopping to interact  and then vo arrowing around, does not take me to 
any further choices you mention. Hopefully someone else would like to kick in 
here? Being able to use search in Lion mail is something I would love to get my 
mind around, because I miss the functionality.
Paul.

Re: favorites bar in lion mail

Hi Teresa and list,

That is clear so far. How would you go about removing an item from the 
favorites bar? I spent some time yesterday, trying to figure it out, but while 
making an alias to a mailbox inside the favorites bar is easy now that I know 
how to do it, it is not as easy to undo that. Any idea how that can be done? 
I'm asking because the favorites bar has a few items by default, that I want to 
remove.

 Hi, Paul,
 
 The favorites bar contains shortcuts or aliases to the actual mailboxes. 
 What you will want to do is use VO drag-and drop. Move the item from the

 I managed to drag my private inbox to the favorites bar, so that it is

 given the command 1 etc options. But now, is it possible to remove an item 
 present in the favorites bar? There is an aggregate inbox that I'd like to 
 get rid of, and also the sent items item is of little use to me in the 
 favorites bar. Here's what I tried so far.
 1. Delete and fn delete, with the v o cursor on the mailbox to remove, in 
 the favorites bar. . However, since mail cannot know where the voiceover 
 cursor is, this won't do it.
 2. I moved the mouse to the favorites bar and to the mailbox I wanted to 
 remove. V o command f5 gets the mouse pointer over to where the v o cursor 
 is. I checked the mouse position with v o f5. Then, I held down control and 
 pressed down the bottom left corner of the trackpad. This won't remove the 
 mailbox intended, from the favorites bar though. Option click won't either.
 3. Having the mouse on the mailbox name I want to remove from the favorites 
 bar, clicking the mouse and attempting a context menu with v o shift m, 
 won't do the job either.
 
 So, I think one should drag the mailbox off of the favorites bar to get rid 
 of it there. Is that true? Where would a sighted person drop it on the 
 screen? Can we get to an empty spot on the lion mail screen using voiceover? 
 Interested to know.

 Whichever mailbox is reported as checked is the mailbox you will find

Re: favorites bar in lion mail

2011-08-06 Thread André Nuno Soares
Hello Paul,

I was only able to drag a folder away from the favorites bar using the old drag 
and drop method:
Move the VO cursor over to the folder you want to remove, in the Favorites bar.
Move the mouse cursor to where the VO cursor is with VO Command F5
Press the mouse button down with VO Command space bar
Stop interacting with the Favorites bar and move the VO cursor to the Mailboxes 
table.
Move again the mouse cursor to the VO cursor with VO Command F5
Release the down mouse button with VO Command Space bar.

And that's it. 

Hope it helps,

lion mail: draft

2011-08-05 Thread Paul Erkens
Hi list,
While attempting to work with Lion mail efficiently throughout the past week, I 
still have a few questions about lion mail.
Question 1. Once you start typing a new message and then close it with command 
plus w, and then telling mail to save it as a draft, the message does indeed 
appear in the drafts folder. However, I'm doing something wrong while 
attempting to continue the draft. Here's what I'm doing.
a. I Go to the drafts mailbox by selecting it in the mailboxes list.
b. I then Interact with the message collumn and then with the message table 
inside the column. This puts me in the message list that I can arrow past. I'm 
arrowing through my drafts.
c. Once the draft that I want to continue working on is found, I tab over to 
the message content pain.
d. Here, I v o right, from the header group to the message text.
e. I then Turn off quicknav, find the bottom of the text and continue typing.

Now, each letter I press, causes the mac boom to sound. What am I missing here? 
I'd like to continue typing, but that won't work. Any ideas how to handle this?

Paul.

Hi Brian,
Thanks for the quick and clear answer. That helps.

 Hello Paul,
 
 Whichever mailbox is reported as checked is the mailbox you will find when 
 you navigate to your message list. I believe the checkboxes on Mail's 
 Favorites bar would actually be better described as radio buttons because you 
 can only have one selected at a time. You'll notice if you navigate between 
 the items on the favorites bar, pressing VO+spacebar on one item will 
 uncheck whichever other item was previously checked..
 
 Regarding your second question: Yes, one of the functions of the favorites 
 bar is to allow access to mailboxes if the mailbox list is closed. In 
 addition, it also provides a nice set of shortcuts to selected mailboxes via 
 the Command+1,2,3,etc keystrokes. The favorites bar can be used whether the 
 mailbox list is opened or closed.

I believe once you select the draft you wish to continue composing, hit enter

Re: favorites bar in lion mail

2011-08-05 Thread Teresa Cochran
Hi, Paul,

The favorites bar contains shortcuts or aliases to the actual mailboxes. What 
you will want to do is use VO drag-and drop. Move the item from the favorites 
bar to the mailbox list with VO-comma and VO-period to drag and drop 
respectively.

HTH,
Teresa

 Hi Brian and list,
 
 I managed to drag my private inbox to the favorites bar, so that it is easily 
 reachable. I learned how to do that on this list. It is very useful, given 
 the command 1 etc options. But now, is it possible to remove an item present 
 in the favorites bar? There is an aggregate inbox that I'd like to get rid 
 of, and also the sent items item is of little use to me in the favorites bar. 
 Here's what I tried so far.
 1. Delete and fn delete, with the v o cursor on the mailbox to remove, in the 
 favorites bar. . However, since mail cannot know where the voiceover cursor 
 is, this won't do it.
 2. I moved the mouse to the favorites bar and to the mailbox I wanted to 
 remove. V o command f5 gets the mouse pointer over to where the v o cursor 
 is. I checked the mouse position with v o f5. Then, I held down control and 
 pressed down the bottom left corner of the trackpad. This won't remove the 
 mailbox intended, from the favorites bar though. Option click won't either.
 3. Having the mouse on the mailbox name I want to remove from the favorites 
 bar, clicking the mouse and attempting a context menu with v o shift m, won't 
 do the job either.
 
 So, I think one should drag the mailbox off of the favorites bar to get rid 
 of it there. Is that true? Where would a sighted person drop it on the 
 screen? Can we get to an empty spot on the lion mail screen using voiceover? 
 Interested to know.
 
 Paul.

Lion Mail, Conversations view and interacting

2011-08-02 Thread Neil Barnfather - TalkNav
Hi All,

A hopefully quick question, I used to have my mail in Snow Leopard set up so 
that my forums mail, which has its own mailbox and e-mail address, would be 
shown in a threaded view, I would arrow down my mailbox list to the Forums 
mailbox, stop interacting and arrow right to the messages view, then interact 
with it, then again interact with the columns and arrow over to the subject 
view.

this meant that for me I had a quick and easy way of deleting entire threads I 
was not interested in, or opening entire threads that I was.

It now seems though with Lion Mail, that when using the new view, and with 
conversations enabled, that one cannot interact with the columns within the 
messages view, making this impossible to achieve.

put simply, I do not need to hear the info about author, from, date etc, just 
the subject line.

thanks for any pointers or ideas.

Neil Barnfather

Re: Lion Mail, Conversations view and interacting

it does seem to work that way in classic view, but my opinion is that switching 
back to classic view is ultimately self defeating, as eventually classic view 
will go, and this will not be in Lion sure, but perhaps a revision or so down 
the line, at which time, learning all the changes from Snow Leopard to that 
version of OSx will be much harder, so although it hurts right now, I'd rather 
get to grips with the new view now.

so need to find a way of doing this.

Re: Lion Mail, Conversations view and interacting

2011-08-02 Thread Teresa Cochran
I find that using the favorites bar in combination with quick-keys associated 
with it makes the new layout very easy to navigate. Once you create aliases in 
the favorites bar by simply dragging the mailboxes to it, you have the 
keystrokes command-1, command-2, command-3, etc. depending on the order the 
mailboxes are placed. Drag and drop is a bit tricky and takes a little 
coddling, but once everything's in place, it's a very efficient setup.

Hi Chris.

I am using Mark's method although at times when I  get to the message content, 
I have to swipe down with two fingers for Voice over to read or I can arrow 
down, or just do voice over J.

Kawal.

 Hi all,
 
 I am interested to know how everyone is now using Lion Mail?
 
 At first, I was using the classic view, but now I have switched to the new 
 standard 3 column layout.
 
 I have my messages grouped by conversation (collapsed) and I used to hit 
 enter to open all of the conversations (previously known as threads) in 
 various windows.  The oldest message would appear at the front, but in Lion 
 the newest window opens in the front.  So I have stopped using this method.  
 
 I then listened to Mark Taylor's podcast on how he uses Mail.  He simply just 
 uses the tab key to jump between each of the 3 columns.  I tried this method 
 and found it ok, but I felt it did not always auto read the message.  
 However, it is not a bad approach if you only want to use one key on the 
 keyboard.  Whilst Mark is in the message contents view, he then uses the 
 arrow keys to move back and forth (left and right) between the messages 
 within the thread).  interesting approach, but I think I have found a better 
 way.
 
 I looked to  see if Apple had uploaded the VO online help file yet, and 
 indeed they have.  Apple suggest using VO+J to jumps between the messages 
 list and the content of the message.  I tried this and it works great.
 
 So now I just scroll down my messages list, if I see a thread or conversation 
 I like the look of, then I just expand it by pressing the right arrow and 
 then move to the first message in the thread/conversation and then press 
 VO+J, VO will then start reading the message immediately and skips reading 
 the mail header (who the message is from) and to jump back to the messages 
 list, just either hit backspace to delete the message or press VO+J again 
 which will take you back to the messages list to where you were in the list.
 
 I find this approach works really well, and I might implement the favourites 
 function in lion mail to quickly jump between mail boxes and folders by 
 holding down the command key and a number.  For more information about the 
 new favourites feature in mail,, then check out Ricardo Walker's excellent 
 podcast.
 
 I would be interested to know how others are now using mail, and what about

Lion Mail

2011-07-30 Thread Chris Moore
Hi all,

I am interested to know how everyone is now using Lion Mail?

At first, I was using the classic view, but now I have switched to the new 
standard 3 column layout.

I have my messages grouped by conversation (collapsed) and I used to hit enter 
to open all of the conversations (previously known as threads) in various 
windows.  The oldest message would appear at the front, but in Lion the newest 
window opens in the front.  So I have stopped using this method.  

I then listened to Mark Taylor's podcast on how he uses Mail.  He simply just 
uses the tab key to jump between each of the 3 columns.  I tried this method 
and found it ok, but I felt it did not always auto read the message.  However, 
it is not a bad approach if you only want to use one key on the keyboard.  
Whilst Mark is in the message contents view, he then uses the arrow keys to 
move back and forth (left and right) between the messages within the thread).  
interesting approach, but I think I have found a better way.

I looked to  see if Apple had uploaded the VO online help file yet, and indeed 
they have.  Apple suggest using VO+J to jumps between the messages list and the 
content of the message.  I tried this and it works great.

So now I just scroll down my messages list, if I see a thread or conversation I 
like the look of, then I just expand it by pressing the right arrow and then 
move to the first message in the thread/conversation and then press VO+J, VO 
will then start reading the message immediately and skips reading the mail 
header (who the message is from) and to jump back to the messages list, just 
either hit backspace to delete the message or press VO+J again which will take 
you back to the messages list to where you were in the list.

I find this approach works really well, and I might implement the favourites 
function in lion mail to quickly jump between mail boxes and folders by holding 
down the command key and a number.  For more information about the new 
favourites feature in mail,, then check out Ricardo Walker's excellent podcast.

I would be interested to know how others are now using mail, and what about 
using it with the track pad? I have not done it that way yet as I have mainly 
been using Lion on my iMac with a full keyboard.

However, I still really miss being able to jump to the top or bottom of my

Re: Lion Mail

2011-07-30 Thread Teresa Cochran
I'm quite used to the new layout now, and feel comfortable with it, especially 
with the shortcut keys and favorites bar.

I don't expand the conversation first; I just use the tab key to go into it and 
navigate through it with the arrow keys.

VO-shift-home and end still work to take me to the top and bottom of the 
message list. I have a way that I can put my finger-pad on VO and shift keys so 
that it overlaps all of them at once, and it's like holding down one key with 
each hand.

Re: Lion Mail

2011-07-30 Thread Chris Moore
Actually my ban was done in error and the moderator at the time apologised, 
however for some reason my group settings had been set to no mail (I know I 
never set that) so I have missed all the lovely posts about Lion.  So today I 
thought I best log into google to see what was going on.

Re: Lion Mail

2011-07-30 Thread Bryan Jones
Hello Chris,

After some initial hesitation, I have adopted the new mail layout and the VO+J 
keystroke to move back and forth between the message list and message body. 
While I used to use the Tab key to move between all sections of mail under SL, 
it seems to me that the tab key has lost some of it's functionality under Lion 
Mail, even in the classic mail layout. I like the fact that VO+J automatically 
interacts with the chosen item and allows me to use either standard VO keys or 
just arrow keys to navigate within the column or the message body. Also, the 
fact that I'm already interacting means I can use the VO+Shift+Home/End as 
Teresa mentioned, thus making a workable substitute for the missing 
Option+Up/Down keystroke. While I have adopted the Favorites bar, I'm not as 
excited about it as other folks are. Also, I haven't taken time yet to try the 
conversations feature, so I can't comment on it.

Overall, I am quite happy to have the expanded set of layout options and 
features found in Lion Mail.

Cheers,
Bryan

RE: Lion Mail

2011-07-30 Thread M. Taylor
Hello Chris,  

 

You are quite correct in that using the Tab key to switch to the Message
Contents area of Lion Mail, in the non-classic view may result in the text
of the message not being automatically read.  

 

Since recording the podcast on how I use Lion Mail, instead of using
single-key navigation, exclusively, I now employ the following technique:  

 

1.

With conversations collapsed, press the Tab key to jump to the Message
Contents area (as described in the podcast).  Generally, the text of the
first message encountered will be read automatically. 

 

2.

Instead of using either the left or right arrow key to quickly switch
between messages in the thread, add the VoiceOver key and each messasge in
the thread will be read automatically. That is use VO+LeftArrow and VO+
RightArrow.  

 

Even with conversations collapsed, using VO+J will jump one directly into
the text of the selected/displayed message; however, should one use the jump
command from the messages table, the VO+Arrow key method of switching
between messages in the thread will not work unless one stops interacting
with the text of the message.  

 

As for me, I use a combination of all of these techniques excluding opening
the conversation from the messages table.

 

In short, there is no silver bullet here; each person has to find her/his
own way in deciding how best to use Lion Mail.

Hello All,

 

In this approximately 9 minute episode of the Candle Shore Podcast, I
demonstrate how to optimize the Mac OSX Lion mail client for use with
VoiceOver, Apple's software screen reading solution for the blind and low
vision.

Hi Mark,

Thanks for a great presentation of using Mail in Lion.  I can clearly see some 
of the new features as related to viewing threads in Mail.  From what I've 
read, I think what I'll miss most when I upgrade is the ability to go to the 
top and bottom of the message list with two keys.  Hopefully, that will be 
added back in an update.
