Interesting. You're right, when I interact and use VO-arrow keys, nothing changes. Still the standard view looks very cluttered to me. I think I'm going back to the classic view. :) Cheers, Donna > On Oct 28, 2014, at 1:01 PM, Tim Kilburn wrote: > > Hi, > > Strange indeed. If you are just

Hi, Strange indeed. If you are just using arrow keys, then the reason the Mailbox is changing is due to keyboard focus. Those items will not usually gain keyboard focus since they are not editable or modifiable elements. If when you Interact and continue holding down your VO keys and the Mai

Hi, Not sure why your items are appearing as MailBox lists. The MailBox items prior to the ToolBar should just be titles or Headings announcing what Mailbox has focus at this point in time along with the number of Unread messages in that MailBox. Try Interacting with them and try determine if

Hi Tim, Moving to the right from the messages column, the first thing I see are two listings of mailboxes. then I go past the vertical splitter, see the toolbar, the favorites bar, and then another listing of mailboxes. So why all these different mailbox lists? Cheers, Donna > On Oct 28, 201

Hi Kliff, I found something that says list preview which I think is your setting. Wouldn't have worked for me b/c I was using classic view, but thanks for the suggestion. I'll keep it in mind should I change to standard view. Cheers, Donna > On Oct 28, 2014, at 11:32 AM, Kliphton wrote: > >

Hi, Regarding Kliphton’s solution, I believe that he is referring to the Preferences in Mail itself, not System Preferences. Interesting solution though. It works as we hope when in the Modern or Standard view for removing Preview pane issues but not while in Classic view. One must still dra

Hello Donna, Whenever I’ve had to remove the preview pane using the trackpad, what I’ve done is to press down on the trackpad with one finger, and stroke the trackpad towards me with another finger. However, it may depend on your trackpad settings in System Preferences. Here are my settings: P
