example and how is it activated?

Congratulations on successfully installing macOS Catalina.

Hi,
If you are hearing emails being read as they come in it is possible
that the notifications are set up in a way that speaks them. I remember
turning that off in the past.

The issue I have with Catalina and mail, is I have my preview messages to no
lines, but voiceover reads mail without being open. How is this corrected?

Hi Tim and others,
Sluggish moving of mail messages solved.
Well, In the process of trying to get hand off to work again I turned off and
restarted my computer. And though I’m still working on solving the hand off
issue the sluggish mail moving behavior is gone. Got to love that restart

Hi,
Strange indeed. Not particularly logical, but often inconsistent things like
this don't have much logic to them.

The process you've outlined is more or less the same as I. Wow, either great

I have 7 accounts. One of them is off line as it is a old employer, but

Hi Eric,
Yes, that machine should handle things just fine. What process do you use when
opening mail messages? Do you have multiple mail accounts that you're
accessing or just one with many messages? Myself, I do have five main mail

Hi Tim,
I had the slow move happen once before after upgrading and after a
period of time it seemed to improve.
This time I finally noticed that the response time in mail was improved to

Hi,
I have not noticed this at all. Moving messages behaves just the same as it
has in previous iterations and is not slow at all.

Hi Brad,
I’ll have to mess with this in Catalina. I know in passed versions of the
OS, there were inconsistencies in how Notification settings effected actual
apps. This might actually solve my own problems with Mail notifications.

Hi Donna,
While Classic view is not available in Catalina, there is a similar alternative
called Column layout, that can be enabled from within the View menu, in the
Menu Bar of the Mail app.
The preview pane that appears either below or to the right of the mailbox
content area can be disabled
Hi listers,
One thing I have noticed after updating to Catalina is that moving
messages to a mail box is slow with mail stating busy and then after a pause
finally opening up the context menu and eventually the list to move to a
mailbox.
Does this improve with time? It has be
I believe the correct resolution to this issue is within Notification
preferences. By default, Catalina displays a banner notification that briefly
appears in the upper right corner of the screen for each incoming mail item.
When this banner appears, it is read aloud by VoiceOver. This can be
Works great with this helpful reminder. You had me just right.
Thanks again,

Oh good! I would also hate being interrupted by VO reading previews for
incoming mail. Thanks, John.

You have to use the VO-arrows to be able to read the descriptions before each
item. If you only use the tab key to navigate, it only jumps to each control.

Thank you John. I’ve made the change as you suggested. Not sure why I wasn’t
able to read the title of each item under the general pane. I needed to have a
sighted person tell me which one was the notification item. VoiceOver only said
“inbox only”. I only heard the actual setting, and not what
I believe in Mail Preferences in the Viewing Pane, you can set the preview
to, None. It’s 1 or 2 lines by default, but it’s a popup menu.

Hi all,
I have not yet upgraded to Catalina, but am considering doing so, since I find
myself with time on my hands. I currently use the classic view in Mail, and
have preview disabled. I know we lose classic view in Catalina, but is there a
way to disable the preview?
Cheers,

You can go into Mail Preferences in the general pane and choose to have
notifications only come with VIPs or another mailbox. By default, the inbox is
the selected mailbox in which new messages are read. This is an option I have
always wished the VoiceOver user could adjust to their own prefe
I am a new Catalina user. While reading messages in Apple mail, I am
interrupted regularly by VoiceOver reading previews of newly arriving messages.
Any way to stop this disruptive behavior?
Many thanks,
