Hi Brian and list, I managed to drag my private inbox to the favorites bar, so that it is easily reachable. I learned how to do that on this list. It is very useful, given the command 1 etc options. But now, is it possible to remove an item present in the favorites bar? There is an aggregate inbox that I'd like to get rid of, and also the sent items item is of little use to me in the favorites bar. Here's what I tried so far. 1. Delete and fn delete, with the v o cursor on the mailbox to remove, in the favorites bar. . However, since mail cannot know where the voiceover cursor is, this won't do it. 2. I moved the mouse to the favorites bar and to the mailbox I wanted to remove. V o command f5 gets the mouse pointer over to where the v o cursor is. I checked the mouse position with v o f5. Then, I held down control and pressed down the bottom left corner of the trackpad. This won't remove the mailbox intended, from the favorites bar though. Option click won't either. 3. Having the mouse on the mailbox name I want to remove from the favorites bar, clicking the mouse and attempting a context menu with v o shift m, won't do the job either.
So, I think one should drag the mailbox off of the favorites bar to get rid of it there. Is that true? Where would a sighted person drop it on the screen? Can we get to an empty spot on the lion mail screen using voiceover? Interested to know. Paul.
