Hi Ioana, I'm using Apple mail on Lion in the new look, classic view off. I tried the suggestion, but when on the message table, without any interacting, it won't work. Each key press of the search text sends a bang from the speakers. Could it be that you are reading mail in classic view?
Regarding the work around: I didn't know about that feature but if you are looking for specific messages it's not too big a deal to temporarily turn on classic view. Thanks for the idea. I'm hoping that outside classic view, there's a solution as well. I tried moving the mouse over to the message table, but that doesn't seem to make a difference either. I think I'll drop accessibil...@apple.com a line about it. Paul.
