well you could,but will he/she set it up the way you want it,and besides what
happens when new OSX comes out and things change,don’t you want to know how to
fix it first hand without having to call apple?

Yes been there but all that is checked is the date and my mail is reading but
only on some messages, says field from and then the info.
Maybe I should wait until the guy from Apple straightens things out. :)

Hi Trish
I do have my new mail at the bottom and old on top. I also only want the name
of the person, subject and date when I get new mail but can’t find the place
to change that any more. I went to the view menu and to sort but the date is
checked and everything else is dimmed.
You were brave to make the switch to Apple so quickly. I made the switch,
took some lessons from John and it still took me a year to shut down my PC
and never look back.
That’s cool, that your mother’s name was Barbara too!
thanks for all your help.

Hi Barbara,
*my mom’s name was Barbara smiles*
some of your mail issues can be changed in mail preferences. Personally, I
like my inbox to put new emails at bottom and old at top,this is an option
in the view tab of mail prefs,command-comma is how to open the mail
prefs,then tab to view, and keep tabbing past last tab to get to the
various settings within the view menu
you might want to explore some other tabs in there,just vo/space on the tab
you want and tab to get to its menus,I visit it a lot,there’s also the vo/M
and then move right arrow through these menu choices few more options to
explore.
oh once you find one then just down arrow through its choices,to make a
selection,vo/spacebar it
one beautiful thing in mail is the dictionary and thesaurus,i use them
frequently
but also is other options to do cool tasks.
btw,all your or most of them applications have preferences and you get to
them after the application is open same way as mentioned here in
mail,command-comma
sorry your having so many issues,i know how frustrating it can be. i went
from window’s to Mac with Yosemite and no prior knowledge to the Mac.
One thing Apple did for High Sierra as far as voiceover goes to change
settings on the fly which I as a Mac user do not like one bit apple!
it used to be just press of the control-command-option with arrow keys,now
they want you to add the shift key with those other ones as well to change
vo settings such as rate,pitch,etc. I don’t like the shift key as part of
this sequence,John you can address that to Apple on my behalf,smiles

Thank you John. Every time I leave the mail program, I return to the very
first Email and have to arrow down past all the messages to get to the
latest one even though it is set to read the newest first.
Obviously, the computer is still not functioning correctly because I keep
getting a message to log in even though it has been set to not do that. My
caps lock does not say caps lock and a number of other issues need to be
resolved with Apple like a mail message reading while I am in text edit or
some other application.
the person I am working with says it is because I transferred data with Time
Machine but you would think it’s their product, so it would be flawless.
He also says because I was using Mavericks that transferring data to High
Sierra could also be causing problems. He also said doing a software update
would resolve all the issues but it has not. (frown)
Loads of fun! thanks for all your help.

Sometimes I delete a message in mail that I need to retrieve. I used to
go into trash, interact and pressshift, function and the vo keys to get to
the top of the list. Then I would search for the mailbox.
but those keystrokes are no longer working and the only way to the top for
me is to arrow up. This can take a very long time if there are a number of
messages.
anyone know how to do this now?
Thank you
Barbara
