David,
I think I thought I was deleting individual messages but, instead,
entire
threads so what to me looked like a read and deleted message was an
intentional deletion of what I thought was an individual message that
took
out a really big thread.

I don't understand why messages are being thrown into the trash when
marked read.

Hi
My responses are under your questions.

Mail:
1. 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. One is to have mail thread
your messages, I find this an unbelievable help. From the view menu,
check the organize by thread option. When on a thread, you can press
right arrow to expand it and left arrow to collapse it. This makes the
table much smaller if you have a lot of threads. 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. HOpefully someone else knows these answers.
