Hello Linda,

I've never been a Windows user but I might be able to help with some answers.

There are basically two ways of reading mail, either with the preview pane (the 
default setting), or without it. I prefer the second where the righthand part 
of the screen contains a list of messages and the lefthand part, a list of 
mailboxes. The messages on the right are in the mailbox selected on the left.

You can arrow down the messages and either press Return to read one, or press 
Delete to get rid of one. You can also press Command-a to select all and delete 
the whole lot at once if you like.

It sounds as though you would prefer to navigate websites in Groups mode.

You could always configure Keyboard Commander to take care of those commands 
that require too many key presses. Also, the Trackpad Commander allows you to 
do most things one-handed. Also, if you have an extended keyboard or a USB or 
BlueTooth number pad, you could use the Numpad Commander.

VoiceOver is highly configurable to suit your needs.

Cheers,

Anne
