Hi,
I think both methods have their advantages, and disadvantages. Since I self teach, for now, the 5th type of device, that includes IOS, 3 different note takers, and now windows, I see it entirely differently. Depending on the person's capabilities, who it is, and how you're teaching, it can be valuable, to, well, even show them both ways. If someone doesn't have a good memory, short cut keys might be better. LOL, I'm never consistent, ever, at all. LET's continue showing, and teaching in our little ways, and whatever suits the user. Just thought I'd throw my opinion in here. LOL, just wait till I get a Mac in the near future.

Actually, teaching people the long ways to do things is quite valuable. I always teach my clients the long way to do things before I teach them how to cut corners. The analogy I use is basically think of moving into a new neighborhood and having a neighbor show you how to get to specific locations around without actually teaching you how to get back home if you get lost or how to get to other areas.

It comes down to philosophical differences, but it was the way I was taught a lot of devices and pieces of software, so I have always carried it over to my clients.

Hello,

Let me explain what I mean by clunky. I do have my messages set up with rules to go to different folders. If I am in a list of messages here is what I have to do to get to the list of folders so I can choose a different folder.

1. I have to hit VO plush Shift plus Up arrow twice

2. Next I have to hit VO plus left arrow a couple of times to get to the list of folders.

3. Next I have to press VO plus Shift plus Down arrow to interact with this table of folders.

4. Now I have to arrow around to find the folder I want and press VO plus space to select it.

5. Now I have to hit VO plus Shift plus Up arrow to stop interacting with the folder list.

6. Now I have to press VO plus right arrow twice to get to the Message area.

7. Now I need to hit VO plus Shift Plus Down arro to move into the message area.

8. I then need to hit VO plus Right arrow to get to the message list.

9. Finally I need to hit VO plus Shift Plus Down arrow to get into the message list.


This is what I meant by clunky. There are a lot of steps just to check the different folders I have.


Regards,

Greg Wocher

Does anyone have any tips for using the mail app? I am finding it a bit
