Re: huge mail problems still

exactly, and it worked fine before mavericks and now doesn’t. I am kind of put off by people saying just get used to doing it differently. Obviously something that was working is no longer working, imo that is a bug, and how many bugs am I supposed to be expected to “put up with” before the oper

Re: huge mail problems still

for me enter never interacts with text, yes it reads it, but more often than not I am on the header field, and the currsor isn’t tracking as it reads. If I want to open a link, or review text I have to vo down and interact with text. that is far more work if I forget to do it, and it’s never con

Re: huge mail problems still

that is my point. I can’t press vo/j to read mail anymore because of the one row added announcements that didn’t used to happen, and if you open it with enter or command o you aren’t in the text field to be able to interact you either have to vo down and interact with text, or use the item choos

Re: huge mail problems still

I am getting a lot of mail, and it does interfere greatly for me. with imap you can’t tell it to do manual retrieval, so yes, it is interupting me every couple of minutes. for the amount of mail I get it makes it unuseable. they will either have to fix it or I guess I will have to live with do

Re: huge mail problems still

when new mail comes in it will interput your reading and say ‘one row added’ has been doing this since the upgrade. On Dec 17, 2013, at 12:59 PM, ROBERT CARTER wrote: > Hi, > > When I am on the messages list and I press VO+J the text of the mail message > starts reading immediately. If there i

Re: huge mail problems still

if I do a return or a command O am not focusing in the text fields, so I have to vo down or use item chooser to get to links in mail. If I am doing vo/j alone the currsor moves as it reads. It makes working with links in mail more difficult. Alia On Dec 17, 2013, at 1:09 PM, Jim Gatteys wrote

Re: huge mail problems still

I realize that, but when it happens five or six times a message it becomes tedious. I am simply saying for me, who gets long messages, and lots of them it is making mail unmanageable, that is all. I appreciate help and suggestions, truly I do, but when the work arounds are becoming this annoying

It puts me in headers, almost everytime. I always have to vo down to get to text. On Dec 17, 2013, at 1:15 PM, Jim Gatteys wrote: > If I open a message with the return key it puts me in the body of the mail > message. Maybe I'm missing something but I can't see the need for vo-j. > seems lik

Re: huge mail problems still

I used to be able to read messages fine. Only if I was in the message list did it say ‘one row added’ once I interacted with text it didn’t read that at all. It is since the upgrade to mavericks, and as I said some of my emails are pages long, so I am doing this ten times an email. Alia On Dec

Mine isn’t consistent, at times it does, at times it doesn’t. I have no idea why. On Dec 17, 2013, at 1:17 PM, Jim Gatteys wrote: > I have to vo-left or right to get into the headers. mine always leaves me at > the first of a mail message when I press return to open. -- You received this
