Probably because the mouse on those trackpads is so sensitive. And, my hands do tend to shake and trimmer due to a disorder I have. It's not bad, but it's just enough with things like this, it can pose an issue, so actually, believe it or not, your suggestion is excellent. I'll definitely take it into account, should the need rise.

Chris,

Just in case you have trouble, when I did this I had better luck putting one finger on the trackpad and dragging downward with another finger. Not sure why, but that worked better for me.
Take care,
Donna

Chris,

I’ll paste in some instructions I posted back in Mavericks time. Still work as far as I’m aware.

1.  Go into Mail Prefs and select the Viewing pane.
2.  Check to change to Classic View.
3.  Close Mail Prefs.
4.  Navigate to the Horizontal Splitter after the Messages Table.
5.  Press VO-cmd-f5 to make sure the mouse is focused on the Splitter.
6. Press down on the Trackpad then drag downwards to the bottom of the physical Trackpad.

You will know that it worked because the splitter will no longer be right after the Messages Table, it will be the last item at the bottom of the window.

7. Change back into Modern View in the Mail Prefs by unchecking the box.
8.  Close the Mail Prefs.

You will know that the Preview Pane is closed/hidden/disabled by navigating around the Mail window and you will note a Vertical Splitter before and after the Messages Column Group.

If it’s not sticking for you, try quitting Mail after getting rid of the Preview Pane in Classic view. Once you re-open Mail, you can change back to the Modern View and the change should stick. At least it has for me numerous times.

Later...

And here's another! billion dollar question: how do you shut off! the preview payne in Yosemite, and while at it, also how do you do it in Mavericks 10.9.5?

Hi,

No, QuickNav should not be part of the picture. The VO-j method, of course, is only usable when the Preview Pane is active. As long as the VO-j action automatically interacts with the Message Content area, it should still work for you. Should is my favourite word in computer-land though.

When I do VO-J I can't read line by line. It says text but then it's
still only readable as an entire message. Do you have to be using
quick nav for this to work?

Hi,

I believe what is happening here is primarily related to iMap mail accounts
not loading messages as fast as they should.  I have three main accounts
along with a few seldom used others. Of the three main accounts, one is an
iCloud iMap, one a POP, and one a Google Apps gMail iMap account.  In
testing, if I press return on a message in either of the iMap accounts,
sometimes the message does not load up as quick as it used to. Closing it then pressing return a second time brings it up faster and the arrow line by line then works. In my one POP account, I do the same and the message is readable line by line right away first time. As mentioned by a few previous posters, interacting with the message area will consequently allow for the arrow line by line navigation. I really hadn't noticed this problem myself as I normally just press return on the message then let VO read it to me and
close it when I've heard enough or just move on to the next one in the
conversation. So, both the VO-j method and mine would not have noticed this
issue specifically, even though it does exist.

Voiceover J does not allow you to read line by line. At least not for

Hi!
I use the voiceover j command to read mails and that works fine.

Yes, interacting has not been effective at all.

Even if I interact, though, I have to use vo-arrows, I can't just
arrow.
Worse, if a message has multiple links and I use vo-cmd-l to move
through
them. VoiceOver gets stuck on the first one. It might even say the
second
or third as I move, but it is actually stuck on the first no matter
what.

Hi:
I'm noticing since updating the Mac this week that when I open a mail
message it no longer is possible to arrow through the message by
lines.
Now it says message content area and reads the message all at once. I
actually don't like this behavior. It just started with this update
this week. Anyway to restore the old behavior where the message just
opened as text that you could arrow through?

Deb
