Hello Cliff,
The answer is a hardy Yes to both questions.
I think you will find that if you use Apple Mail in threaded view your
efficiency will far exceed that of Outlook.
I say this as both a Windows 7 Outlook 2010 and Jaws 12 user.

Yes, they will, but they will not appear in your in box, as long as you check
the skip in box check box when you create your filter. It is important to
remember that your all mail folder is not the same as your in box. GMail works
quite a bit differently than the way most people are used to mail
Joshua,
Okay, if I set up a new filter directly on Gmail and it automatically sets up a
corresponding mailbox on Apple Mail, will those messages still go into the All
Mail mailbox? Just wondering.

If you're setting up messages for GMail addresses, make your filters in GMail,
and the separate mailboxes will be created by default. You don't have to do
anything special with Apple Mail, as long as you set up everything correctly
with GMail.

Perhaps someone already said this. To turn off a bunch of the "blank blank
blank" when reading mail:
1. Hit Vo-M and go to the View menu.
2. Arrow down to the Columns submenu.
3. Hit the right arrow and you will see checkboxes for all the things it can
show. Uncheck any that don't seem relevant.

Exactly. I usually hit the control key but most of the time I'm interacting
with the table and only the subject column and most of the time I still am
there so I just down arrow and hear the subject of the message.
Maybe this might help.
