In case anyone else runs into this problem, what I ended up doing is using VO-shift-period, i.e., VO-greater than.
My favourites bar contained four items: inbox, drafts, sent, and hide mailboxes button. The only way I could get drag and drop to work was to drop the item after the sent check box by using VO-greater than. I tried dropping the mailbox after the inbox check box, but that didn't work. It had to come after the sent check box. Presumably, dropping it before the hide button using VO-less than would have worked as well, but I didn't try that. The problem I have now is that I can't rearrange the items. If I try to mark one for drag and drop, I get the message: Voiceover will not drag item that has press action. I know someone else said it was possible to rearrange the mailboxes. I would like to do this, but I'm happy enough for tonight just to have them in the favourites bar. Any advice would be appreciated. Cheers, Marc On 2011-07-23, at 9:32 PM, Kliph&Sharrie wrote: > To drop the folder is voice over plus period.
