Hiding preview pane in Mail?

Hi, please can anyone tell me if/how it’s possible to hide the preview pane in Mail on the Mac? I believe sighted users can do this by altering the divider line by dragging it. With VoiceOver, I interact with a vertical splitter, but cannot get it any less than 29%, so the preview pane is still sh

Hi Katherine, It used to be the case that VO users could do that too. But I just tried it, and got similar results to yours. I was able to get the vertical splitter down to 14%, and now it says collapsed. But the preview pain still shows. Very strange. Donna > On Mar 29, 2024, at 8:02 AM, '

Hi again all, So, late last night I finally got my new Mini to download a more current software version by connecting it to My Mac and using Finder. However, for reasons I can’t begin to fathom, it downloaded 17.2, instead of 17.4, which is what the rest of my Home is running. I have my HomeP

I have no explanation. Mine is at 100%, and when I put focus on the splitter, I hear “Horizontal Splitter, collapsed on bottom”. I am running Sonoma 14.4.1, but I don’t think the version matters because I have been doing this since Mountain Lion, macOS 10.8. I am using Column layout, formerly kno

We had one full-sized HomePod in the kitchen, which served as our primary hub, and another in the family room. We decided that in the kitchen we could do with just a mini, and that would allow us to move the kitchen HomePod to the Family room and create a stereo pair. Donna > On Mar 29, 2024,

First of all, it appears that getting a full-sized one wouldn’t solve the problem. In the discussions I saw on the internet, both devices were mentioned. Second, when we’re in the kitchen, we’re usually also doing other things, so there’s no real need to spend the money for full-sized HomePod.

So how did you get your problem resolved, Donna? I know they finally figured out a way to charge iPhones in the store which is a good thing, since that caused a big mess. I don’t think they’ve done that with HomePods. So how did you get yours done? I still have my pair of old HomePods connected
