Hello Steve, on the subject of reading messages do you or anyone else for that matter get the following. Note I am using the modern view but I have conversation threading turned off. In its simplest form lets say I have 12 messages and I have 10 unread. So when I next open mail for some reason, it will place me on a couple of new messages up. (not on the message I was last on when quitting mail). So now I have to arrow down a couple to get to the 10th message which by this time I will then have 8 unread but there will be 2 that I haven't read. In other words is this normal behaviour? I would like Mail or it could be VO to stay on the message I quitted it on and not jump up a few. Like I said is this normal or is it just me. LOL
