Hi,
I just want to say, thanks to the person who mentioned using the favorites bar.
Its freaking amazing. lol. here's what you do, if the favorites bar is not
already shown press command option shift H to show it. Now go to your mailbox
table and interact. Navigate to the mailbox you want in favorites and press VO
comma to mark the mailbox for drag and drop. Now stop interacting with the
mailbox table and navigate to the favorites bar. It is near the toolbar btw,
and press VO period to drop the mailbox into to the favorites bar. Now, you
can press command plus the corresponding number to jump directly into the
messages table for that mailbox no matter where you are in mail. You can
double check what number your mailbox is by going to mailbox in the menu bar
and opening the go to favorite mailbox sub menu. Even better, you can move
messages from one mailbox to the next with a keystroke. When on the message
you want to move all one needs to do is add control to the favorite mailbox
command. for example, lets say my Macvisionaries mailbox is the first item in
my favorites. It would be assigned the number 1 to to jump to it I would press
command 1. Now lets say my gmail inbox was the 2nd item in favorites so it
would be jumped to by pressing command 2. Now lets pretend I wanted to move a
message from the macvisionaries mailbox to my gmail inbox. I would just have
to be on said message and press command control 2.
This is a really, really, cool feature. To remove a mailbox from the favorites
bar you can't use the new drag and drop method. Here's how you do it though.
Interact with the favorites bar and navigate to the mailbox you wish to remove.
Now if your mouse cursor is not following your VO cursor you will need to
press VO command F5 to move the mouse cursor to the VO cursor manually. After
that, press VO command shift spacebar to do a mouse down. Now, stop
interacting with the favorites bar and VO right arrow once to the mailbox
table. Finally just press VO command shift spacebar to do a mouse up and you
will hear Mail make a sound to indicate the mailbox was removed from favorites.
Keep in mind, if you don't have your mouse cursor set to follow your VO
cursor, when you move to the mailbox you will have to move the cursor manually
again with VO command spacebar. Btw, the keystrokes can be found in the menu
bar under mailbox then explore the go to favorite mailbox sub menu and the Move
To Favorite Mailbox submenu.
