Hello,

I have an issue .... somehow my cyursor is placed extremely deep inside my e-mails list, like in messages from around 2006.

I need to read my recent e-mails, but I can not place the cursor at the iop of the list ... vo shift cmd left arrow does not work.

The onlly thing I can do is place vo up arrow and keep this combination hold bbut it would take me very time to reach the top of the list.

Is there a more eficient way to go to the top of the e-mails list?

Thanks,
Marlon

I had this problem the other day.

Here is what you can do:

1. Create a Smart Mailbox and set date specifications, Today, for example. So that you can jump to one mailbox/folder that only has Today mail.
2. Open the item chooser and type "Today" or the date you want, one of those items will take you to the top of the list.

Hi Split. Try this. Interact with the messages table, then Voice over, plus function and left arrow should bring you to the beginning of it, VO function right, should put you at the end. Hope that helps a litle.

Using a MacBook Air, I have found that pressing the option-control-fn-caps lock together with left or right arrows jumps to the top or bottom of the email list (or lists in iTunes) like the old option-control-shift key with an arrow. Hope this helps and curious if others have found this to work.

The shift is aparently moving to the beginning or end of the visible list, not the list itself.

I gave up the mail app and switched to Miicrosoft Outlook .... I'll check for curiosity if this works anyways.

The mail together with pdf are the down sides to Mac .... Outlook may be a better solution, still feeling it.
