Hi Marc, I actually prefer a stand alone email program for myself. In fact, I just recently got access to one which works fine. However, my account is a yahoo account through AT&T which utilizes a SPAM folder on the webmail site. Today I was able to access the folder using the mouse keys and going through each message one by one by one. And the only way that was possible was because I was on someone elses computer using I.E.8. My computer has I.E.9 so mouse keys don't work. Here's my question, messages in the SPAM folder seem to be in a table format and the only way to interact with anything in the table is by checking a box tied to each message. I found no way using either the I.E.8 or I.E.9 program to check any of the messages so I could take further action on them. The spacebar just kept saying the box was unchecked and trying different action buttons verified that. The enter key just put me out of browse mode. The mouse keys let me open each message separately but that meant I couldn't ac t on multiple messages at one time - like delete or move. Any ideas on how I can access and manage my SPAM folder because sometimes there are messages in there I really do want?

I am a bit hesitant to commit to this topic for a number of reasons. First, because there are so many different email providers used by our customers, it would not be possible to cover all of the web mail systems that are being used. Second, because these solutions are web based, the user interfaces are being constantly updated which would make a presentation on the topic become obsolete very quickly. In addition, most web mail systems are not the most user friendly interfaces for accessing email especially when compared to stand alone email clients like Outlook, Thunderbird, Windows Live Mail and Becky. This is because they do not use standard Windows controls and often lack keyboard accessibility. This is why I personally recommend the use of a standalone email client because if you learn how to complete a task, you can be confident that the technique will continue to work as long as you use the prog ram. I do not want to rule out the idea of conducting a webinar on this topic and would be interested to know which specific web mail systems people are most interested in learning how to use and why the web mail interface is preferable over a standalone email client. Thanks, Marc Subject: Re: OT AT&T.Yahoo.com/mail From: "Brice Mijares" <[email protected]> Date: Wed, 19 Jun 2013 11:27:05 -0700 Are you using firefox?
