No, you didn't cloak a mail thread. I've had this happen a few times, it seems to be a minor bug in Mail itself where the title bar doesn't get refreshed when the last message is deleted. It's usually the unread count that seems to stick for some reason. I don't know of any way to reset Mail's preferences to their defaults without removing account information. If you reset the preferences it resets them all, and that includes accounts.

Hi, Thanks for the help. I'm still stuck on a few Mail issues especially:JS: There's a couple things you can do here. One is to have mail threadyour messages, I find this an unbelievable help.

When I go to the Messagestable, though, it seems to be blank. I looked in Trash and the threadwasn't there either. Did I somehow cloak a partially read thread? If so,how did I do so?cdh: Is there a restore to default UI in Mail anywhere that won't kill my account information but would put everything back where it was so I canstart breaking it all over again? cdh Happy Hacking, cdh Chris Hofstader email: cdh@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Blog: http://www.blindconfidential.blogspot.com Skype: BlindChristian -----Original Message----- From: macvoiceover-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:macvoiceover-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Jacob Schmude Sent: Wednesday, December 10, 2008 8:53 AM To: macvoiceover@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [macvoiceover] Re: Mac Newbie Questions: 1 Mail/was:RE: Re: Introduction Hi My responses are under your questions.

How does one turn off the thing Outlook on Windows calls the "preview pane," as when I review new messages in the message table, they get marked as read and moved to the Trash folder. I like to move around in the table to decide what I care to read in what order (if Fruchterman or Vanderheiden writes, I read immediately; if a friend is looking for lunch, I may wait). So, how do I keep these messages from being marked as read just because they appeared in the preview panel for a couple of seconds, how do I turn the preview panel off altogether and how can I keep read messages in my Inbox so I can return to them later?Make sure you are in the inbox window. Navigate with the voiceover cursor down to where the Preview pain is, it will say "message content scroll area," or possibly "html content." Now, navigate to the left until you here "horizontal splitter." Press ctrl+option+command+f5 to route your mouse to this splitter, then do a double-click (ctrl+option +shift+space twice). This will turn off the preview pain. This is one of those areas on the Macintosh that is different in coming from Windows. Doubleclicking on the splitter between one area and another usually hides the area under the splitter, this is standard Mac behavior but pretty much nonexistent on Windows.2. How does one navigate up and down through the Message table quickly? I often have hundreds of messages but PAGE-UP and PAGE-DOWN, HOME and END do not seem to have any effect in tables in general and the Messages table specifically.There's a couple things you can do here.

The way to move through a table quickly, I find, is to hold the VO up or VO down combination. It scrolls very quickly, it's not like holding keys down on Windows where you get a lot of repeated speech you can't control. You're correct about page up/page down not working the way they do in Windows, these keys are looked at differently from a Mac perspective, and don't behave at all like they do on other systems. I'm not sure about importing Outlook contacts, and I don't use voice recognition at all.

The major difference between a thing that might go wrong and a thing that cannot possibly go wrong is that when a thing that cannot possibly go wrong goes wrong it usually turns out to be impossible to get at or repair.
