Hi, When you enter the body of the message, VO should just start reading whatever content is already in the body of the message. ie. signature, previous content if replying etc. You may wish to check in the VO utility under the Navigation category to confirm that "Automatically Interact When Using the Tab Key" is checked. If this is checked, then there should be no need for extra interaction when using the tab navigation.
Two things to consider. First, while I understand that when people are used to using JAWS and such in the Windows environment, they will make comparisons and also use that process as a foundation for their activities on the Mac, this is a flawed and confusing process. It is much better to attempt to ignore your history with the Windows processes, and embrace the new methods that you need to use. Second, there are many different ways to skin a cat on the Mac. The process I've outlined to you is just one for composing and communicating. You don't need to use the tab key, you can use VO navigation, or you can use simple arrow navigation while in edit fields. Later...

I am sorry. Sometimes, when I am in the body field, VO says I should interact because it is a web area. If I don’t interact, navigation keystrokes don’t work. Somehow, Windows environment seems much straightforward at this point. Kindly offer me some more points about handling email composition and editing on the Mac. Take care, Hem.

No, you don't need to be interacting with anything when creating a new Mail message. Just press cmd-n to start. Your cursor should start in the "To" field, then press tab twice to get to the next edit field which is the cc field, etc. Press cmd-shift-d to send it after you're done. Later...

I deleted the accidentally created alias stuff. On email: Can I press tabs to move between to field, the cc field, and the body field when composing a message? Should I interact with message table before composing an email? Kindly let me know. Warmly, Hem.

The keyboard command for creating an alias is cmd-l. As already mentioned, use cmd-delete to put an item into the Trash. With respect to Mail, use cmd-n to start a new Mail message, use cmd-r to reply to a message you have just read, use cmd-shift-d to send the message you just composed. Use Delete to delete a message.

I put my aliases on my desktop so they are easy to find. You can also put an alias on your dick if that works better for you.
