Hello Paul, I was only able to drag a folder away from the favorites bar using the old drag and drop method: Move the VO cursor over to the folder you want to remove, in the Favorites bar. Move the mouse cursor to where the VO cursor is with VO Command F5 Press the mouse button down with VO Command space bar Stop interacting with the Favorites bar and move the VO cursor to the Mailboxes table. Move again the mouse cursor to the VO cursor with VO Command F5 Release the down mouse button with VO Command Space bar.
And that's it. Hope it helps, André On Aug 6, 2011, at 11:24 AM, Paul Erkens wrote: > Hi Teresa and list, > > That is clear so far. How would you go about removing an item from the > favorites bar?
