Hey guys. I'm also CC-ing this to Apple Accessibility. The problem I'm also having with iTunes is when I'm in my list view and I'm using VO+F to search for a song that's in my library as opposed to going to the search box and searching for just one song, I get the iTunes busy message for about a

Keeping both source and destination folders/objects open would seem logical. Visually, the mouse pointer is moving from one place to the other on screen, so having both source and destination open should perform drag and drop. Kevin has a lot of discovering to do in Lion. You can complain to him

Hi Deb, I can take a crack at helping with this. You can edit the SMTP server settings in Mail preferences, in the Accounts pane. You'll need to take the account offline, I think, but after that the process is fairly straight-forward. You can set things up so only a specific server will be us
