no longer told if messages are read and unread

2013-10-27 Thread Ray Foret Jr
Ever since I played with the preview pain in mail last night, I don’t even get told whether a message I’m passing over is read or unread. How if possible can I make sure to get this information? It used to be the last thing I got told in OS 10.9, and now, I don’t even get told it at all.

Hello Ray, If the preview pane is showing, all your messages will appear to be read as each message opens as soon as you land on it. This is why I always disable the preview pane. Cheers, Anne On 27 Oct 2013, at 10:15, Ray Foret Jr rforet7...@comcast.net wrote: Ever since I played with

Can’t seem to do that in OS 10.9. I do the following. 1. Switch mail to use classic view. 2. Close pref window. 3. Move to the right of the messasge table until I find the splitter thingie, I think there’s only one but that the one I go to. 4. Now, use VO+CMD+F5 to rout the mouse to that

Hello Ray, In Classic view, you go to the messages table but don’t interact with it. Make sure that Quick Nav is off. VO-Down Arrow and you should hear “Horizontal splitter”. Bring the mouse and double-click with the track pad. Cheers, Anne On 27 Oct 2013, at 15:28, Ray Foret Jr

Okay. So, after I double click with the track pad, do I slide my finger either left or right? IF not, how do I know the blasted pain is closed? Usually use standard view. Sent from my Mac, the only computer with full accessibility for the blind built-in! Sincerely, The Constantly

Hello Ray, The track pad commander should be off. So, after the double-click, just do VO-Down Arrow and there should be nothing there. Cheers, Anne On 27 Oct 2013, at 16:02, Ray Foret Jr rforet7...@comcast.net wrote: Okay. So, after I double click with the track pad, do I slide my finger

I did this 1. Using classic view, I made sure I was not interacting with the message table. 2. Next, pressed VO+down till I heard “horisontal scrole area. 3. Next, routed the mouse to that area. 4. Making sure track pad commander was off, (it’s always off for me) I double clicked the

Hello Ray, What happens if you do VO-Down arrow when you’re on the horizontal splitter? If there’s nothing below it, you’ve got rid of the preview pane. If that isn’t the case, another way to get rid of it is to route the mouse to the horizontal splitter, then press your finger down on the

Well, when I am in classic layout, and move down below the horizontal spliter, I see the message content area. This is the case no matter what I try to do with the track pad. Am I correct in guessing that this should not be the case? Also, I just now tried the trick you suggested of tapping
