I'm not sure if it works but I have a feeling it does.
If it works, remember then that if you're wanting to write
something with more than one line, pressing enter to jump to a

shift+enter to create a new one.
3. Last but not least, you have what I use most of the time.
You could simply use the Messages' section from http://m.facebook.com, it has a
very intuitive interface.
The only downside is you'll need to refresh the page from time

These are things that a very great many people really don't think about until confronted with it, and then it's far, far too late. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure, and I have yet to find a single "plus" to POP in the age of IMAP.

Re: [POP] Saving messages from an account to export to another and one more question
Brian's Mail list account
Basically pop3 is when you actually download the messages and can sort them at your end. Imap is a synchronising system where what is on the remote server is what is on your computer. This means that you can move messages within imap yourself and they will stay on the remote server as well, but pop 3 allows offline rules which is why I use it. I think if you have imap and pop3 access to the same account you can just delete the ones you want to on imap, then either move thee ones you want to keep manually to other folders on that imap interface, or then go and download what is left to the pop3 version and use rules to sort the messages there. Beware though as I found out the hard way that my ISP seems to have only limited sync between pop3 and Imap meaning that if I delete them on Imap they still download from pop3, but if I move spam on Imap to inbox I get those also delivered to pop3.
I know Google seems to have a slightly different way of working as if I delete my email on,, say my Iphone on a gmail account it won't download it to pop3, so assuming the Iphone is using Imap, then they obviously enforce the rules
Really I agree its a nightmare, but if you think what you actually want to do and ignore the Imap, then does it really matter if the inbox on there is a mess, you really only need to look at spam and move to inbox for the stuff to be delivered.

Re: POP is unwise [was: Being Unsubscribed for Marking Messages as Spam #adminnotice]
Hi Group,
This probably varies from mail program to mail program, but when
using Thunderbird, you can back up almost everything by doing the
following.
1. Close Thunderbird.
2. From the run dialogue, type %appdata% and press enter.
3. You are in the roaming folder. This folder contains all the
application data, settings, address book and e-mails from
Thunderbird.
4. navigate to the folder named Thunderbird and when
highlighted, press control + C to copy that folder.
5. Then paste this folder onto a thumb drive, external hard
drive or some similar device and you have everything backed up.
6. Now if for some reason, you need a fresh install of
Thunderbird or if you get a new computer and use Thunderbird, you
can simply install Thunderbird and navigate to the Roaming folder
as described in steps 1 through 3 above and paste the contents of
the Thunderbird folder that you have copied into the Roaming
folder.
I do this every few days to keep the mail and settings of
Thunderbird backed up.

\See, it serves no purpose.
There are people who use pop3, and it works just fine for
them. There are definitely use cases where pop3 is a better
fit than imap, and there are use cases where imap is clearly
the better alternative. Wishing one or the other would go
away is just ignorance talking.
If you don't wish to use it, then don't, but that doesn't
mean that others who are fully aware of what they're getting,
and do wish to use it shouldn't do so. I for one much prefer
pop3, for several reasons, including disk usage, security,
issues, ease of backup, and others.
When folks talk about folks loosing years worth of emails
because they used pop3, my question is did those folks ever
backup their mail? I'm thinking no. Sure, it's not the
easiest thing to move mail from one email client to another,
but you're just as likely to loose all your imap messages if
your email provider goes bye-bye as well, and nobody here can
tell me that's never happened.
It's six of one, and half dozen of the other, use what works
for you, and allow others to use what works for them.

Yes you can. I have about 200 thousand messages

use iMap and wish that pop 3 would just go away and

Re: POP is unwise [was: Being Unsubscribed for Marking Messages as Spam #adminnotice]
In reading all these messages, it seems that this thread is at an impass. I think that Pop is awful, and I think that anyone who thinks that it is worth using is ignoring the reality that it is a terrible standard that leaves too much to chance and causes more trouble than it is worth, yet I read Travis' messages and he seems to find value in it. Either way, I am pretty sure that we have exhausted this topic to death, and at this point it isn't relevant whatsoever to NVDA. Let's try to bring this topic to a close, shall we?

Re: POP is unwise [was: Being Unsubscribed for Marking Messages as Spam #adminnotice]
Travis Siegel <tsiegel@...>
Wishing something would go away because it doesn't fit your
definition of what is useful is just plain silly.
If that were the case, then I wish narrator would go away, I
whish jaws wold go away, I wish windows would go away. Hell, I
wish microsoft would go away.
\See, it serves no purpose.
There are people who use pop3, and it works just fine for them.
There are definitely use cases where pop3 is a better fit than
imap, and there are use cases where imap is clearly the better
alternative. Wishing one or the other would go away is just
ignorance talking.
If you don't wish to use it, then don't, but that doesn't mean
that others who are fully aware of what they're getting, and do
wish to use it shouldn't do so. I for one much prefer pop3, for
several reasons, including disk usage, security, issues, ease of
backup, and others.
When folks talk about folks loosing years worth of emails because
they used pop3, my question is did those folks ever backup their
mail? I'm thinking no. Sure, it's not the easiest thing to move
mail from one email client to another, but you're just as likely
to loose all your imap messages if your email provider goes
bye-bye as well, and nobody here can tell me that's never
happened.
It's six of one, and half dozen of the other, use what works for
you, and allow others to use what works for them.

Yes you can. I have about 200 thousand messages on
gmail's server and it doesn't really complain at me. You
can also clean them up using iMap as well. I use iMap
and wish that pop 3 would just go away and die. All the
email and attachments are backed up in the cloud and no

get your mail. I lost over 3 years worth of messages
once so am not going back to pop3.

But, just for the ease of changing computers when you need to or e-mail clients when you want or need to, even on a single machine, it is unwise. The amount of work needed (if you want to port your messages, and most do) is immense with POP and virtually non-existent with IMAP. These are things that a very great many people really don't think about until confronted with it, and then it's far, far too late. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure, and I have yet to find a single "plus" to POP in the age of IMAP. [And I've been around since well before the age of IMAP.] When something is clearly better when the entire picture is taken into account, it's simply better, and using something almost destined to cause additional work and/or heartache at some point in the unspecified future is unwise. --

Re: POP is unwise [was: Being Unsubscribed for Marking Messages as Spam #adminnotice]
Thanks for the comprehensive clarification of what you meant by "unwise".
I agree that IMAP is better-featured, supports multiple devices more easily,
and places the data retention responsibility on your service provider rather
than you.
I still think this doesn't equate to "unwise", however - POP3 may be more
limited, and it's certainly older (although that doesn't necessarily mean
worse), but as you say, depending on your requirements there is nothing unwise
about POP3.
Thanks again,
Antony.

What is unwise about using POP these days? 1. If you only access your e-mail from one, and only one, device, and wish
to be responsible for backing up all the messages that exist only on your
device after download, and you wish to be responsible for trying to port a
huge number of messages from one e-mail client to another should you
choose to change clients then there is nothing unwise about POP.
2. If you're like most users these days, and you have every intention of
accessing your e-mail messages on multiple devices while having what each
"sees" remain in sync, then POP as conventionally configured does a
horrible job of supporting that while IMAP is designed to support that
from the get-go.
3. IMAP messages and all folders associated with same are retained on the
e-mail server and, as a result, are part of the data center's daily (if
not more frequent) backup protocol. The probability of ever losing
something permanently is exceedingly small. By contrast, I have seen POP
users lose years worth of downloaded messages on several occasions when
they were not backing up their own computers and their hard drives failed
catastrophically.
The fact of the matter is that POP (Post Office Protocol) was the first
e-mail protocol and really is an anachronism that remains supported in the
name of backward compatibility. It's shortcomings are myriad, and
particularly when you want e-mail synchronization and portability from
device to device to device over time to be almost effortless (you only
have to set up the account again if you're using IMAP and - poof, like
magic - all of your messages and folders appear).
IMAP is also more space efficient on your own device, because only message
headers are downloaded for presentation in the message list in folders,
with the exception of the most recent messages, which will often have
message bodies downloaded in advance as well for some time period back
from today (say, 2 weeks - it's configurable) because the probability of
actual accessing of newer messages is far, far higher than old ones. You
can also specify specific messages to retain their local message bodies
permanently if you know you make very frequent reference to them so
they'll be available even if you're offline.
For the way most people use e-mail these days, including the bulk of folks
here, as many describe having computer(s) and smartphone(s) on which they
wish to get their e-mail, using the access method suited to it, and that
protects the actual message data the best, is what's wisest. If your
e-mail service provides IMAP access, well . . .
If you fit the profile I noted in #1 above then nothing that follows it is
relevant to you. I find it improbable that everything in #1 above applies
to practically anyone these days.
[And, before anyone jumps in with, "But you can configure POP to leave
messages on the server!," well, yes, you can, but you have to make the
effort to do that in the vast majority of cases, and many would have
absolutely no idea of how to do so. Why use an antiquated protocol that
must be rigged when a better alternative exists?]

Re: Golden Cursor question

I have it set up like that on mac. Where ever my pc curser is my mouse curser follows etc. Where ever my mouse curser is my pc curser follows. I love it and clicking is way easier when I have to. Hmm. If I could code I'd make an add on for that.

So basically you use the Review cursor to navigate the screen. Then when you
land on a spot which you want to click, you route the mouse pointer to that
review cursor position [NVDA]+[Slash] and then hit [Slash] to left mouse click
on it?
Is there an option that will automatically tether the
mouse pointer to the review cursor, so I only need press [Slash] to click on an
element, without having to route to it first?

There aren't specifically mouse

the relevant parts. 5.5 is a relevant section. I'm not sure if
there are any others. You will see such commands as num[pad 9, move to
next line, numpad 8, read current line, numpad 7 move to and read previous
line. These are review keys and don't affect the application, they
review the screen. I'm talking about what they do in screen review
mode. They have similar functions when in object navigation but they
apply to the object that has focus.
To move the mouse to the review
position, use the command numpad insert numpad slash. To left click the
mouse, use numpad slash. To right click, use numpad Times, which I
believe is also the asterisk. It's immediately to the right of numpad
slash.
If you can't find how to do

can't be done. Asking here may provide information about how to do it or
of an add-on that does.

Thanks.

You
can move the mouse with the keyboard now. You can't move it as
precisely. I don't have an opinion about whether the Golden Cursor
features should be incorporated into the source code. But your
implication that the mouse can't be moved without the Golden Cursor is not
correct.

Re: [nvda] Golden Cursor question
Jean,
I think the whole Golden Cursor thing should be in NVDA to
be honest. The ability to move the mouse using the keyboard has been in
screen readers, since the invention of Windows.
Supernova has it, System Access has it, JAWS has it,
Window-Eyes was best at it, and so on.
All the best
Steve
The
search feature should, I think, be in NVDA, not in the Golden
Cursor. This is important funcionality and is too important to depend on
a user downloading an add-on to have it available.

[nvda] Golden Cursor question
Hi,
In my efforts to find out if Golden Cursor is as good as
the mouse with JAWS, I’d say not quite. Let me explain.
I just downloaded it, and there seems to be no way to
search for a string of text within GC and have the mouse land on that text, so
you can just click it, without routing, saving positions, etc.
Could this possibly be added? A Mouse Search in
NVDA? I use Search in JAWS cursor all the time, and it moves the mouse
to where I want it.
Or am I really stupid and missing it?
Someone suggested that GC does more than the JAWS cursor,
but I don’t really see that.
All the best
Steve
