As I understand it, the "Orginal Message" dealt with a "new" MacBook
Air user, and he/she wanted to know the quickest way to get to the
"mail" program on the Mac OSX. I presumed he/she didn't know very
much about VO (VoiceOver) so I decided to provide him/her the
quickest way to get there as I have been informed by Ol'Sighty using
Basic Mac OSX KeyBoard Commands rather than using Basic VO KeyBoard
Commands. I agree there are quite a few ways to perform the same
function on a Mac.
I thought "we" as "the Blind & LowVision Community" wanted to utilize
Basic Mac OSX KeyBoard Commands rather than use alternative KeyBoard
Commands, but I presume from the responses on "This List", I'm wrong
about that as well.

Yet another is to go to Finder, hit cmd-shift-a to open the
Applications folder, and navigate to and open Mail from there. Yes,
the Mac usually has many ways to skin the proverbial cat. I prefer
Spotlight for opening things, but that's just me.

Another alternative is just to put an alias on your desktop. I've
done that ever since I got my first Mac.

I don't really think your method is faster. You go to the dock,
type m or ma and mail is there; do enter or vo-space. I've never
done this other method myself but I suppose it's all about what
one is used to; you always think what you are used to doing is fastest.

I tried and tried to turn over a new leaf.
I got crumpled wads of tear-stained paper
thrown in the trash!
Then God gave me a new heart and life:
His joy for my despairing tears!
And now, every day:
"This I call to mind,
and therefore I have hope:
The steadfast love of the Lord
never ceases;
his mercies never come to an end;
they are new every morning;
great is your faithfulness."
(Lamentations 3:21-23 ESV)

I suggest, what I presume would be a quicker way to Launch "The
Mail" program on a MacBook Air, and that IS "SpotLight". To
activate, I recall, you simply do the following:
Press COM + Space Bar
Then
Type "Mail"
Then
Press either Enter/Return Key OR CRTL + OPT + Space Bar
(This should LAUNCH your "Mail" program on your MacBook Air if I
am CORRECT with the Steps.)
COM = Command Key
CRTL = Control Key
OPT = Options Key
Am I RIGHT Advanced VoiceOver (VO) users??? I'm fairly NEW as a
Totally Blind VO user myself, but I feel that the Steps that I
listed above are the Fastest way to LAUNCH the "Mail" program on
a MacBook Air rather than going to "The DOC", and then selecting
"Mail" from "The DOC".

Hi. It should be in your dock. Just press VO+D to get to the
dock and it should be there. HTH.
