Here are the exact steps I take: 1: Use the Mail command to hide all other windows. 2: go to full screen 3: Make sure the mailbox you want to move into the favorite bar isn't currently the open mailbox 4: Hope your notification center doesn't pop up during this process. 5: Turn cursor tracking on 6: Go into your mailbox list and move to the mailbox you want to move 7: Turn quick nav on and move by character a few characters into the name of your mailbox. 8: Press VO comma to select the mailbox for dragging 9: Leave cursor tracking on 10: go into the favorite bar and find the place you want to move your mailbox to. 11: Press the VO shift f4 key to move the voiceover cursor to keyboard focus 12: do not use the VO period key to complete the move. Instead use the drop marked item before voiceover cursor or drop marked item after voiceover cursor command I have been able to move mailboxes consistently into my favorites bar this way.
The best way I know to remove a mailbox from the favorites bar is: 1: Turn cursor tracking on 2: Move to the mailbox you want to remove. 3: Press VO command F5 to move the mouse cursor to the VO cursor 4: Click and hold the physical mouse left button 5: Move the mouse up and away until you hear a faint whoosh. Hope this helps. Very interested if these steps work for others. On Sep 8, 2012, at 4:52 AM, Jürgen Fleger <[email protected]> wrote: > That's exactly what happens here as well, all the time.
