Hi All, I'm wondering if anybody here can give some examples of ways they find the new activities feature useful? Coming from SL I'm used to not having them, and so would love to hear from others cases where they're of practical benefit. I'm mostly just curious, though that won't stop me from

Yeah I know what you mean. I really hope that Apple is not using its commitment to those who have visual impairments. As far as I'm concerned at least with Mac OS X Snow Leopard Apple has stood out amongst the competition. I love my MacBook Pro and I love Apple because of accessibility. But I'm

conversations in new mail

I just wanted to say I'm getting used to the new conversation view in mail. The way i do it now is to expand a conversation I'm interested in and then down arrow to the first message. Then I do a vo+j to go to the preview pane and then read the message, then I either delete it or do a vo+j

I can't help but think that some of these problems are system specific. I haven't had any busy messages with webkit, ever since spotlight got done indexing my files my mac has ran as normal. Have you tried repairing permissions? That seems to have helped for me too. There was a message

Hi CHris, The area you mention is accessible if you don't expand a conversation, but instead stop interacting and move right. I'm not sure what goes on visually in conversation view, but it occurs to me you might not need to expand them all that often actually. Experimentation is in order.

It occurred to me to wonder and ask something. What with so many of y'all seemingly having so many issues with mail and such, have y'all tried maybe repairing disk permitions after doing the install? Just a thought that perhaps that might clear things up. Now, what's this I hear about you

No, I just tried it, it works in the regular view, with the caveat that you must use vo+up and down arrow to move through the messages when in the message content area. also if you set a hot spot on the mailbox list I think you can get there a lot quicker. On Jul 22, 2011, at 10:44 PM, Zachary
