Ketan Kothari
Hi friends,
I am using NVDA 2017.1 and wish to delete a substantial amount of mails. How do I do this? I believe I will have to use standard view. Please do guide. I would like to avoid sighted assistance if I could. Thank you. With best wishes, Ketan -- Ketan Kothari Phone: [r] 24223281, Cell: 9987550614 MSN ID: muktaketan@hotmail.com Skype ID: Ketan3333

Press * + a to select all messages in current label/folder. Press shift+tab and you will land on a link to select all messages in label since * + a only selects currently visible messages. I'm currently in my nvda label and when I press * + a 50 messages is selected since that what I've configured gmail to show on each page and I press shift+tab and I land on a link named select all 5099 messages in nvda. If I hit enter on that link I can simply delete all messages by pressing the # key which is delete in gmail web app. To use the shortcuts above you need to have keyboard shortcuts turned on (found in gmail settings). You can also use the same approach in the all mail view or after filtering out messages by running a search.

Open your gmail account in your browser. After doing so, choose a button called "Basic HTML view." When you switch to it you will be able to go to the checkbox areas pertaining to each mail message in your inbox by using the X letter. The mails that you want to delete are to be checked by the space bar. When you have done the checking, use B to find the delete button. Press it, and your checked mails will be sent to the Trash folder. If you wish to empty it too, the procedure is the very same. I use Mozilla Firefox to handle my gmail account. You can also engage other browsers, though. If you wish to find the HTML view in Chrome, you are obliged to switch to the focus mode, for only then will you be able to find the very button by using tab and/or shift tab. If you use Firefox, be in the browse mode, and go to the very top of the page to find the very button, either. If you wish to treat the Spam folder, the procedure of emptying is the same as already described. The only thing you should do is choose a folder you wish to treat.

After struggling with this for a while I found an easy solution. If you have any mobile device, install the Gmail app. It makes it very easy to delete an entire mailbox included deleted our archive messages

Shaun, If you figure out how to go directly to the Delete button I mention in step 4, whether with NVDA or any other screen reader, please let me know. I could not for the life of me get NVDA to find that button, and I suspect it's because of some design trick used for the web page or maybe it's one of those evil "links made to look just like a button" that's become trendy these days. -- I don't find an uninformed hatred a "principled position" that I need to respect in any way. ~ Ellen Evans, soc.motss, 11/6/2004

When using Gmail, a user can enable keyboard shortcuts that work quite well. There are hotkeys for performing such commands as delete for example. Thanks.

To the rest of you please read the documentation. I use the gmail standard view and it's brilliant with firefox and nvda. By the way the delete shortcut is the # key. Google have done a great job with gmail and I prefer the web interface to a mail client like thunderbird or Outlook. By reading the documentation "how to use gmail with a screen reader" first you quickly get the hang of it.

That depends on your keyboard layout. I use a Norwegian layout and I don't know how to get a * on other layouts. To get a * I press shift + ' (tick) (the third key to the right of the letter l) followed by the letter a. So, if you need to press shift+8 to get a * you first press shift+8, then release and quickly followed by the lettar a (lower case a). Make sure nvda is in focus mode when performing these gmail short cuts and also that you've turned on keyboard shortcuts in gmail settings.
