Re: mail on macbook pro
Hi Janine, Yes, sorry, I should've been a little more detailed but I was in a rush so took some shortcuts. :) By navigate to the right I did mean VO-right arrow, though you could of course just press the right arrow with QuickNav turned on or swipe right on your TrackPad with the TrackPad commander turned on. In addition to what Anne said, if you want some emails to be read aloud when they arrive but not others, you can choose VIPs from the new message notifications pop up menu in the General tab of Mail preferences. You can then add certain people to your VIP list and then only incoming messages from those people will be read aloud. For this to work though you have to have enabled Mail in Notification Centre. Just ask if any of this doesn't make sense or you have other questions. Best, Nic -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.

Re: mail on macbook pro
Hello Janine, I think the reading of the message that just arrived is happening in the Notification Centre and not in Mail. Go into System Preferences which is both in the Dock and in the Apple menu and select Notification Centre. You can then move Mail out of the list of applications that use notifications.

RE: mail on macbook pro
Thanks for that Nicholas. I figured it was because of POP3. Xtra here does not support IMAP as far as I am aware. I will work through your answer, I would assume to navigate to the right to the message list table is VO plus right arrow? I have noticed when I am in mail, e.g. writing an email, if a new message comes in it reads it. Is there a command to allow the mail to come down but not read it straight away?

This has probably got something to do with your email provider (Yahoo) and/or the fact that you're using POP3. It can also be with the type of account you've set up. I'd strongly recommend you look into using IMAP rather than POP. If you want to import your contacts from Yahoo you might be able to export them from the Yahoo website and then import them into the Contacts app on your MacBook. I'd recommend using your iCloud account for reminders and calendars and the like. 2. When you've selected the mailbox you want, stop interacting with the mailbox list, navigate to the right to the message list table and interact with it.. You could also try VO-J.

mail on macbook pro
Hi I am new to this group. I have just bought a macbook pro and I am setting things up on it. I have at this time 2 questions concerning the mail app, if that is all right? 1. When I set up an account, on the last screen where it says also set up, the only option I am presented with is the checkbox for notes. The checkboxes for calendar, reminders and contacts are dimmed. I am with xtra which using yahoo, pop3. Does anyone know why these options are dimmed? Has it to do with my isp or type of email account? Any help would be appreciated. 2. An issue when I try going from my inbox, in the list of mailboxes, over to my list of messages. Using the tab key it seems to want to go to about 4 other buttons before it goes over to the list of messages. Is there any way to set the tab, or a key command, to go straight over to my list of messages. Listening to a demo from Applevis David was able to do one push of the tab and went straight across to the list of messages.
