How do I get to the previously used recipients table?  This is something I have 
never been able to figure out but know it has great uses!

Hi Marlaina,

You wrote:

 have never been able to figure out but know it has great uses!

The Previous Recipients window opens up when you select this option under the 
Window menu on Mail's menu bar. In mail, navigate to the menu bar by either 
pressing Control-F2 (the general OS X shortcut) or VO-M (the VoiceOver specific 
shortcut), then press w to navigate to the Window menu, arrow down, and 
press p r to move to Previous Recipients and press return.  When the window 
opens, you have the option of filtering the table results by typing names, or 
parts of names, into the search text field before navigating (VO-Right arrow) 
to the table and interacting.  Since this is a table, you can also sort by the 
column entries with VO-Shift-Backslash (for English input keyboards -- other 
language users may need to bring up the VoiceOver commands menu with VO-H twice 
and find the sort command under the table options).  Columns include name, 
e-mail address, and date last used.  If you highlight a name, then stop 
interacting with the table, you can navigate (VO-Right) to the buttons for 
either removing from the list or adding to your address book.

Incidentally, in your case I assume you are using the MacBook Air, and probably 
have TrackPad Commander turned on.  So when I write navigate with VO-Right 
arrow, you can substitute pressing the Right arrow key (if you have Quick Nav 
turned on), or flicking right with a finger on the TrackPad (if you have 
TrackPad Commander turned on).  And when you reach the table and interact, you 
can substitute using a two finger flick right to interact for VO-Shift-Down 
arrow and a two finger flick left to stop interacting (VO-Shift-Up arrow).  
Again, these gestures require that you be using a recent laptop's trackpad or, 
in the case of older laptops or desktop Macs, that you have a Magic TrackPad 
under Snow Leopard, and have enabled TrackPad Commander (VO+two finger rotor 
gesture made in the clockwise direction to turn on; counter clockwise to turn 
off.)  Then, you can also press the buttons by tapping your TrackPad instead of 
using VO-Space.

As previously noted in threads on the Previous Recipients list for mail, if an 
entry is in your Previous Recipients list, then when you start typing the email 
address, you'll have the option of using auto-complete selection.  On the other 
hand, if you have an entry here where you mis-typed the email address you used 
to send a post, it will also be remembered in this list, as will any old email 
addresses that are no longer valid, which is why you might want to review this 
list and remove entries.  This is also why it can be useful to sort entries 
according to the date last used, if you want to get rid of entries that are old 
and no longer in use.  Of course, if you don't use the auto-complete function, 
you can just ignore this.  And if you suddenly decide that you want to put one 
of these older addresses into your Address Book, this can be a helpful tool to 
do that.

HTH.  Cheers,

Esther

Hiya all,
I'm joining this discussion a little late, so sorry if all this has
already been said.

I just spent a couple of seconds looking at it, and it seems this post
is right, you can't do much useful with it, apart from one thing.

If you find the entry you want (could possibly select multiple entries
using voiceover command space (with curser tracking off)), and then
add them to address book.

When you've done this, you could email the person, and do anything you
wanted, then just delete the contact.

HTH, and sorry it's not the most useful post ever posted.

Hello Donna,

In both instances, I use VoiceOver's last phrase copy to pasteboard feature, to 
use the address.  I use command N, to start a new message and paste the email 
address.  If you need more information on copy last phrase to pasteboard, let

Re: working with the previous recipients table?

2011-03-09 Thread Brett Campbell
Donna,

The copy last phrase to clipboard is one of my favorite features.  It's helpful 
when traditional copy and paste doesn't seem to work.
When you use control, option, shift C, the last thing VoiceOver spoke will be 
added to the clipboard.  You can then paste the text anywhere you can paste 
using conventional copy and paste.
I find the VO, shift C combination to be a little tricky, so I have setup a 
simpler hockey through the VoiceOver utility.

I use this table mostly for clean-up and address book additions.

First, I'll sort by the date column and remove anything older then a year and 
possibly write to folks I haven't talked to recently.

Secondly, I will sort by the in address book field, and then go through and add 
Address book entries to people I want to have in my address book that are not 
there.

The recent address also effects two functions of Mac Mail

1. Any address in there by default is will never be marked as SPAM.
2. The auto-fill uses this table to help guess what address you mean when 
typing in the recipients address of a new message.

 following while interacting and also not interacting with the table and the 
 text.
 
 1.  Can you select a recipient and email them?  I've tried pressing Enter, 
 Vo-Space, and opening the context menu, none of these options seem to do 
 anything.
 
 2.  Copy an address to another document?  Again, tried going into the edit 
 menu but no option there to copy.
 thanks in advance,
 Donna

Re: working with the previous recipients table?

Thanks, John.  I've of course seen the second function you describe, but had 
never thought about the first.  Makes sense.
Cheers,
Donna

 I use this table mostly for clean-up and address book additions.
 
 First, I'll sort by the date column and remove anything older then a year and 
 possibly write to folks I haven't talked to recently.
 
 Secondly, I will sort by the in address book field, and then go through and 
 add Address book entries to people I want to have in my address book that are 
 not there.
 
 The recent address also effects two functions of Mac Mail
 
 1. Any address in there by default is will never be marked as SPAM.
 2. The auto-fill uses this table to help guess what address you mean when 
 typing in the recipients address of a new message.

 Hello Donna,
 
 In both instances, I use VoiceOver's last phrase copy to pasteboard 
 feature, to use the address.  I use command N, to start a new message and 
 paste the email address.  If you need more information on copy last phrase 
 to pasteboard, let me know.
