Hi Ian and all I found some time to set up the email on my iMac. Hooray!!!
It was very easy and I have to admit it was much easier than windows.
I went into the table with all the email messages easy enough. When I see an
email that I’m not interested in reading and don’t want to open it I just want
to hit delete what is the easiest Way, or rather the fastest way, to do this? I
did use VO shift M and went through the menu and just clicked delete but is
there an easier way so that I don’t have to hit VO Shift M and go through the
whole menu? As always thank you for the help.

Sure thing. A good option is the native mail app on Mac. You can launch it
from your applications folder if it isn't already someplace like your dock.
Once you have Mail open, go to the menu with VO M, then go to the menu
labelled Mail, VO arrow down to the option for add account, click it with VO
plus space and follow the steps from there. First thing you encounter will be
a new account type table, it has options for ICloud, Google, Yahoo, AOL and
the like. If your account is one of the ones listed, VO space on it and fill
in the fields. If not, you can use the option for other, and follow the steps
from there.
You can use the preferences menu within Mail to set things up to your
preference, but the default settings should get you started.
Your standard VO j command will jump you to the messages list. When you are
there you have a couple of options, you can VO j into the message or push
enter to open it separately. There are advantages to each, it’s mostly a
personal preference thing.
You can stop interacting with the messages table, then VO left arrow to the
mailboxes list, interact and VO arrow down to find different mailboxes. You
can stop interacting and VO arrow back to the messages list, or just VO j.
Interacting with the messages list seems to be rather important in Mail, if
you aren't interacting, commands like going to the top of the list don't work
properly.
Most actions are covered by the menus, there are a few hot keys that come in
handy, you should get familiar with them pretty quick, they are noted in the
menus.
Feel free to send along further questions or ask for more clarification.
Forgot to ask, where in Canada is home for you? I’m in Sherwood Park, just
outside of Edmonton.

Hi everybody, as always I hope you are all well. It’s time for me to move
onto the next step on my iMac. I have had email coming through on my iPhone
and Windows laptop for the last four years. I had a problem with email
coming through recently and spent this whole past entire week with my
Internet provider trying to fix it.
I desire to have email coming through on all three of my devices the iPhone,
Windows laptop, and my iMac.
Recently email was coming through either on my iPhone or on my windows
laptop. If it was coming through on my iPhone it would not come through on
my windows laptop or vice versa. Finally today my Internet provider fixed
it. Now I desire to add the iMac to this mix.
I know Nothing about mail on the iMac. Is there anybody who can walk me
through setting up email on my iMac and also giving me some instruction on
how to use Mail on the iMac.
I am using a late 2013 iMac running Catalina.

Ian,
It sounds like you may have been invaded. Turn off all of your automatic
updates and run Clean my mac and for crying out loud shut down Google drive.
IMHO.

Yup, I did the upgrade, and things were just fine for a few days, then
this happened. Right now I’m working on the premis that my maxed out
google drive is trying to share folders with my hard drive even though I
told it not too. It may have been trying this before I made the change,
and still trying to accomplish it’s task before it lets the new settings
take effect.

Last night I set my Mac to move my documents and desktop to ICloud, it
had the space and I figured it would give me the 6.44 Gb to get an
IMovie work project done. When I went to seleep it was happily chugging
away on the sync. This morning the 6.44 Gb is indeed in ICloud, but the
mysterious filling of the hard drive continues. In system report nothing
except documents is growing, it is at 53 Gb, but when I look at the
files and resources in documents within system report it
S only the 6.44 I expected to be there.
When I go to Finder and check a status bar, like in the downloads
folder, it says I
M down to 20 Mb, and there is the click sound that says something is
happening, like a large chunk of data being copied or moved, that click
sound.
I
M getting a little desperate here, I can
T open my email on my Mac, can
T finish off that IMovie work project.
As a reminder, I had a whole bunch of hard drive space because I moved a
bunch of stuff off to upgrade Mac OS, it was there for a couple of days
and then yesterday it filled up on me.
Any suggestions? I
Ve followed all the optimize storage recommendations I found on line
and in the system report application.
