On my Mac mini, using Mac Mail, on Catalina,, I was able to search for mail from an individual sender as follows:
1. I navigated to, and interacted with the ToolBar in the Mail app. 2. After interacting with the ToolBar, I pressed VO + Home, which landed me in the Search text field. 3. Next, I typed in the first few letters of the sender’s name, then used the down arrow to access a drop-down list of result categories, and selected the most relevant result, and then pressed Enter. 4. I then used VO + J, to navigate to the Mailbox list, where the results of my search are listed. Note: 1. I am using Column Layout. 2. When finished, I returned to the Search edit box in the ToolBar, to clear my search criteria. 3. I am using a full size keyboard, with extended keys. If using the smaller MacBook keyboard, use FN + VO + RightArrow, to navigate to the Search edit field, after interacting with the ToolBar. - Brad - On Mar 15, 2021, at 12:30, Pete De Vasto <[email protected]> wrote: Hi all, In Mail on Catalina, I want to find a message from a particular person. I can get to the toolbar and a search button within that toolbar, but VO keeps saying Search popup button, and I can’t seem to be able to get into an edit box where I can type what I’m looking for. Doing Command+F to invoke the Find command isn’t doing what I want, either, so I’m probably missing something very obvious, or maybe going about this search in the wrong way. I’d appreciate any help and/or ideas on this. Thanks, Pete De Vasto -- The following information is important for all members of the Mac Visionaries list.
