Hi Brad,
Thanks for this. I didn't know it would work in Catalina.
Cheers,

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
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,

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,
Donna

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,
Paul
