Shanon, You can do this kind of thing with mail rules. Go into Mail Preferences -> Rules tab, and you can add a rule which will delete all messages from a specific email address. These are, as far as I’m aware, global. Best, Zack. On Nov 10, 2013, at 7:24 PM, Shannon Reece wrote: > Hi Sarah, >

Chris, It is possible that Gmail weirdness is at fault. Gmail is somewhat notorious for a non-standard mail server implementation. In other words, just because Mail says you have an unread message doesn’t mean you do. Best, Zack. On Nov 8, 2013, at 9:50 AM, Chris H wrote: > Hello everyone, this

Hi Andy, You need to double tap on the text field, and generally use the rotor to navigate to wherever you want to continue typing. Note that this was made a bit harder under iOS 7, as VO seems to move in text fields if you accidentally tap them. I presume you’re talking about iOS here, and not

Hi, You can use vo-end or vo-home to jump to the beginning or end of a table. As for lists, perhaps you might look into groups mode? I believe they are treated as separate entities in that case, and you can use the same keystroke to jumpy o their ends. Best, Zack. On Nov 3, 2013, at 10:18 AM, Pa

Hi Shanon, The reader doesn’t work on every page, sadly. It will work on most articles and similar content, and when it does is a huge timesaver. :) It’s also available on iOS, if you have an iPhone or similar. About the web rotor, all I can say is keep fiddling with it. Takes some getting used

Hi Shanon, I’m presuming you’re in the Mail preferences, Accounts section, when you try to add another account. If you click the new account button, you’ll find radio buttons for preconfigured types, and a final “Other Account,” button. This should help. Best, Zack. On Oct 31, 2013, at 7:31 AM,
