There is a setting in voice over where you can disable the announcement of column headers, this should turn off the reading of the title of each column.

Thanks very much for that Alex.
I have never used Classic View before today, but you’re right, enabling it has allowed me to turn some of this stuff off. I do wish VO didn’t speak the field before the contents of each field, but at least it’s a little better than what I had.

I am not running OS 10.9 yet, but it sounds like you have disabled Classic View. I don't use that feature, but what you describe - the ability to decide exactly what get spoken with each message - is Classic View behavior. Open Mail Preferences, and see if you can find the Classic View setting checkbox. That might work, I am not sure.

Hi everyone, so far I must say I’m disappointed with Mail in Mavericks.
Mail in Mavericks has become way to chatty for my tastes and I’m hoping I’ve just missed a setting to make it stop. In Mountain Lion, I had my message list set up so all I heard was the sender, and the subject. If there was an attachment, I heard that too. Now it seems the time that the message was sent and some other stuff that just slows me down is included and I haven’t found a way to turn it off. Second, the number of messages in a conversation is now spoken at the end, after the message header details and the message preview. I’d prefer the old behaviour, where I heard how big the conversation was at the very beginning. And finally, I used to get from my message list to the email i wanted to read by pressing VO+J. The message would immediately start to read. Now it seems a first press of VO+J does nothing at all, and to do the same thing that once took 1 press of VO+J now takes three. I think this latter one is a bug. I’ve really enjoyed using Mail in Mountain Lion but if I can’t get the chatty behaviour under control, will run Outlook in a VM.
Thanks for any thoughts.
