Problem editing mailboxes with VoiceOver.

2013-06-12 Thread sadam ahmed
Hi all, I have a strange behaviour with VoiceOver on my iPhone when editing mailboxs. Even though VoiceOver says draggable. When I hit the top left to reorder mailboxs I am unable to move the mailbox to the top. Any help with this appreciated. Kind regards, Mr Sadam Ahmed. Mobile:

The problem almost certainly isn’t with Java itself, but is with VoiceoVer’s poor support for this particular app, and Java-based GUIs in general. Sadly, I don’t know the specifics of how you can resolve this one. I’ve never done more than give the preferences a cursory look myself, and avoid

Bryan! You nailed it. Thank you. I think what was going on was that somehow, if the deleted messages didn't reach the server, they went to my IPhone trash folder and not the server trash folder. I reselected the server trash folder, and that did the trick. Fantastic! Thank you for your help!
