[Mac-Access]: message from the list owner, please read
Hello everybody I’d just like to give you an explanation as to why some of you have had difficulty unsubscribing from the group. Firstly, please understand that this was in no way a deliberate act on my part. When I was configuring the list, VoiceOver did not reveal the refreshed edit boxes when I added your addresses. Therefore, I thought that they hadn’t actually been added, so I added them again. This happened twice before the boxes’ contents were displayed to me, and I thought that the job was done. However, unbeknown to me, the addresses were added three times over. This is why you’ve had difficulty and in some cases have received multiple copies of the messages. Please accept my most sincere apologies for the inconvenience. I am modifying the list as I speak, so that each member is only subscribed once. I am also taking out those addresses whose owners have requested that I do so. Those who have written to me threatening reprisals, (and there have been 3 of those), please know that I am removing you as you requested. I acknowledge though that this shouldn’t have happened. There should be error-trapping within the software to prevent it. I am taking this up with the developers. But I am also working urgently to address the issue. Those of you who do wish to remain on the list, please don’t worry if you get repeated welcome messages. If you get a message asking whether you want to join or not, then that is at your discretion. I am also taking steps to restore the support address so that these issues can be separated once again from my own inbox. My compliments and kindest regards Gordon Smith: gor...@mac-access.net mailto:gor...@mac-access.net Accessibility Information Technology Support Specialist.

Hi, Gordon. Thanks for answering the question regarding multiple duplicates. I must admit, they sure filled up my inbox quite a bit. The above said, however, keep up the good work. This list is a godsend, especially for those of us who float between Windows and Macs/iOS. Thanks again for such a great list!

[Mac-Access]: Skype for Web (Beta) is now available to everyone in the US and UK
Link is below. I'm not going to be testing this as I'm going to be busy, but hopefuly someone can and will test for accessibility under the mac platform and see if it is accessible. This would be good if I were on antohr machine with out skype, or what not.

Re: [Mac-Access]: gmail
Here's why you get those messages from google. The package that's accessing gmail hasn't got the most modern security features in it. To fix this, you'll need to go into account settings and check the box that says allow less secure software to access your gmail account. Supposedly easier for hackers to get in once you do this, but even the most modern security features were no protection for the Federal employees and retirees that had their accounts hacked over at OPM.

I am wondering if anyone can help with gmail. I can access it on the web, and have set it up for my computer to download the email. Sometimes it does, other times I get a message from gmail saying they blocked an attempt to access my mail and I know it was my computer trying to download. I even checked that it would do it from my computer, but I am still getting error messages sometimes. Any ideas? Thanks.

[Mac-Access]: Detecting colour on the Mac
Team, How do you detect colour on the Mac? If something has a red background with black foreground. Howdo you achieve this with VO? Also how do you detect the position of the cursor from the left side of the screen in an application? Is this application dependent?
