What you can do is go to the track pad turn it on by pretending you are turning
a dial and twist it to the right. Then take 3 fingers and double tap and that
should turn your speech back on. I had this problem a lot when I first got the
Macbook Pro Another thing you can do is switch the touch bar to act as function
keys and that way if you hit it it will simply name the function keys.
Hope this helps.

Hi All,
I am a fairly new member to this group. I have recently purchased a MacBook
Pro with the Touch Bar at the top of the keyboard. My question is, can you
actually disable the Touch Bar? As I keep touching the mute feature and I
can’t really see to unmute it. So does anyone have any suggestions. I have
to be very careful I know as you only have to slightly touch it. Apart from
that, the Touch Bar can be very useful.
Thank you.
Sandra Heaton.

Hi.
I’ve found a combination of keyboard shortcuts which will enable me to do
what I want, 2 keyboard shortcuts are used and I would prefer 1 but still I
get the job done and thanks to everyone who contributed to this discussion.
So I want to delete eMail messages perminatly from the computer and I want
full control over what I delete, I don’t want what I delete moved to the
trash I want it erased entirely so this is what I .
If I come across an eMail message or group of eMail messages I select them
and then press command-shift-j to move the selected eMail Messages to the
junk box.
When I have finished going through my In-Box and moved all the offending
eMail Messages to the Junk-Box I then press command-option j to erase all
junk, I am then prompted with a warning before all junk is removed.
Seems about as good as we can make it <smile>

So another mail question.
Suppose you get a whole heap of junk eMail in your in-box as of ten happens
here.
You can use the shift-arrow keys to select them and move them to the bin, so
far so good.
The problem is then you have to select all those junk eMail messages over
again in the bin and delete to get them off your system.
Is there a command that can simplify this procedure? Say select your junk
eMail messages from the In-Box and then use a single keystroke to bypass the
Bin and delete from the system.

I’ve not tried using rules to block senders. Perhaps, it can be done on
the iCloud website, but not in the native app to my knowledge.

Can’t you block senders with a specific rule? Either on iCloud website,
or within the mail app itself. Also, if your arrow keys were behaving
that way, it sounds like you didn’t have the roofer set to navigation.
Once this is done, it should function normally. I love apple mail also,
even though I don’t use it on Mac much anymore.

Apple Mail is actually very easy to manage. As long as you under stand
the mailbox list, message table and the message content area, you can use
keyboard commands to easily navigate back and forth. If you get lost,
command-1 will always put the focus back on the unified inbox. If you use
the favorites bar, you can even customize specific mailboxes you want
easy access to. Overall, it’s like anything else on the Mac or PC. If you
take the time to learn it and use it, you can make it work however you
need it. I find Apple Mail far more enjoyable and easier to use than
Outlook or Windows Mail for a variety of reasons. My only complaint about
Apple Mail was the removal of being able to block senders and the receipt
option.

I had this happen when I got this computer back from them putting a new
keyboard into it. What I did was go over to the View window by pressing
VO and the right arrow. Then when I got there I down arrowed and found
it saying something like find a different view. When I Vo spaced on that
it took me to where the messages happen to be.
But I don't like Apple Mail it doesn't need to be as involved as it is.

If he’s using VoiceOver, try pressing command-1 and see if the focus
goes to the inbox in mail. It’s odd that it would open with no windows
showing, but try that.
