Hi and welcome, The mac things I can help with. The date and time. go to voice over utility, vo-f8 and arrow down to commanders. VO right and select keyboard commander with VO -space. then VO right and check the check box to use keyboard commander and ensure by vo-right that use right option key is selected. Now hit right option key and T and this will announce date and time. This will only work if you are using snow leopard by the way. For messaging, if you are using protocols other than gmail or AIM, then you might want to opt for Adium. This is a multi-chat client and is free and works very well with voice over. The email situation is one I've heard of a lot on this list. The only thing I can think is your windows mailing client is downloading all of your emails from the server as iMap deletes in the client but keeps the messages on the server as back up. As for passwords, you should have an administrator's password but if you acquired the machine and you are uncertain of what that password might be, you might want to, if you can find it out as it is crucial for updating your mac. I know a few others would advise making a separate account from the admin one for your personal use and to do this you would go to system preferences, select accounts, and create new account and select all the appropriate fields. But I strongly would suggest you know the admin password first. I hope this helps you a little.
