Good morning, all,
I’m happy to write with good news.
My new M1 MBA arrived yesterday. Though I’m not done migrating everything yet,
all is working well. I actually did migrate data using a newer time machine
backup, and was greatly relieved when doing that didn’t sabotage Voiceover. But

Thanks for the update and glad the iCloud migration is working well.

Hi all,
On new MBA, VO does not come on at start up. I can bring up the recovery
system voice in order to log in, but I would like VO to start at log in like it
has in the past. I’ve looked in VO utility and system prefs, but don’t see a
setting that would address this. Any ideas?
TIA,

Command f5 doesn't work?

That shouldn’t happen. At least it never did before.

Hi all,
Subject says it all. I have no sounds in Mail, no message sent sound and no New
Mail sound. I went into Mail presfs, sounds is checked, I’ve set the crystal
sound as the new Mail sound, but still nothing. Any ideas?
TIA,

Here is what you need to do to set up VO to start at the logon screen:
1. Go to System Preferences > Users & Groups.
2. In the, "Users, groups and login options" List” table, select, “Login
Options”, from the table.
3. You should select the lock so you can make changes, in order to continue.
4.
I would set your sounds back to their defaults, and see if that restores the
Mail sounds.

If you have enabled FileVault, if you do set up VoiceOver to come in at login,
there is a bug affecting M1 Mac mini at least; VoiceOver does not land in the
password box and is unresponsive. You have to turn VoiceOver off and back on
again. Apple accessibility is looking for a fix.

And how does one do that? I don’t see an option for it in System Prefs.

Good point.
I don't use file vault, and forget about how it affects voiceover on The
logon screen.

Hi Brad,
I’d gotten as far as number 3. But there is no Accessibility Options button.

Hi all,
These mailboxes just don’t seem to have been created, despite the fact that I
have deleted messages. The messages I’ve deleted seem to have just vanished,
despite the fact that my mail prefs were set not to erase deleted messages for
a month. Anyone have any idea what’s up?
TIA,
Donna
Go to your mailbox table and interact. Go up to where it says, Favorites.
There should be an, Add, button there. You might have to interact again, but
VO-space on the, Add, button. The dropdown menu should give you the ability to
add back the missing mailboxes.

Hi Jonathan,
Ok, I followed these steps and made all of my mailboxes disappear. I have no
idea how, and I don't seem to be able to get them back. Now what?

OK, somehow I got them back, but now I have a kabillion mailboxes.. It looks
like one of everything is showing for each account. How do I get it back to
the view I had before, where everything was streamlined, but with the ability
to monitor trash and junk mailboxes when necessary? Yikes!

You might have to collapse accounts. Remember that in the mailbox table, you
can expand or collapse the mailboxes.

Hi John,
Maybe it’s just me, but I’ve always thought mail in Big Sur is unnecessarily
convoluted. I have two columns that list mailboxes. Neither seems to let me
collapse or expand accounts. One column is labeled Mailboxes, so I assume it
is the mailbox list. The other column, which also has n
There should only be one column in the Mailbox table. There should be
account headings for each series of mailboxes where you can use VO-backslash to
collapse or expand the mailbox group. You might find additional areas as well
based on your setup.

Donna,
Just wondering, but were those mailboxes part of the user account you
spoke of deleting earlier?
If so, might that be why you cannot recover those older mailboxes, the
user account is gone?
Just a question from the peanut gallery,

Just want to say thanks Brad and Harry for trying to help. I’ve looked in
system prefs, I’ve disabled File Vault, and still no VO at startup, and no
sounds in Mail. So I guess tomorrow I’ll call Apple Accessibility.

You can delete your friend’s old email address from the Previous Recipients
list.
To access this list, do the following:
1. While in the Mac’s mail app, go to the Menu Bar > Windows, and arrow down
to Previous Recipients, and press Enter.
2. Once in the Previous Recipients dialogue, VoiceOver f

Did all that. It worked to a point. The old address is deleted from that

old e-mail addresses because I have several old e-mails which were sent to that
old address before it was hacked and changed. So, I gue
