I'll start with the email first. well my first question is in windows live mail which is the email client I use on windows when I setup my accounts I have two of them just to let you know. Basicly wlm puts them apart from each other. So basicly when your arrowing down the tree view you have the email accounts in different fouldors. So basicly when you send and recieve messages they all don't go into one inbox. My question is basicly can "mail" do this on the Mac side of things? I hope this question makes sence if not then please let me know if you want me to try and explain more and i'll try to do my best. Yes, when you create new accounts it has the accounts in the mailboxes table. You can also select "inbox" if you want to view all the messages; however, there is the option to use separate folders Ok my second question and this is straight forward. Does "mail" support message rules? Yes it's in "rules" in preferences. Ok now for the instence messaging question. Basicly I have heard that blind users use a programme called adium to instend message on the Mac with voiceover which is good but I wanted to know are there any other instent messaging programmes that work with voiceover on the mac aside from adium? Also I have a hotmail account which I use to chat with and its actually this email address i'm sending from. But does the mac instent messaging work with hotmail? Yes, theres ichat, msn and some others. Adium works with hotmail, i use it all the time. Again I hope this kind of makes sence what I am trying to get across. Many Thanks and looking forward to hearing ideas and sergestions from all you lovely Mac users out there!
