[orca-list] Setting up mail in Linux

["Chris Gilland" <cgilland1 carolina rr com>]

ok guies.  I've converted from Ubuntu over to Vinux.  Be aware.

the vinux I'm using is the latest release, dono the build but I know it is, 
trust me to that.

Well, I got Evolution set up, but there is a little issue I'm having with 
Orca and wanted to see if one of you could help.

First of all, when I first get into evolution, what do I push being I 
haven't changed the vfiew at all more than I turned off the message preview. 
I need to know specifically what to hit to jump focus to my list of inbox 
messages.  tabbing, I sometimes can hit it, but it seems a bit hurky jurky. 
Probly, I just dono what I'm doowen.  Anyway, being I shut off the preview, 
once I hit enter on the e-mail to open it, this is where things're getting 
real weird.  I hit f7 to turn on the carrot thingy, can't remember exactly 
what they call it.  I understand once it's on, you don't have to keep 
hitting f7.  I kno that.  That's a given.  Used to be what someone on list 
taught me to do in a really older version of Ubuntu was after hitting enter 
on the e-mail, then hit page up until I hear the word panel.  then, just 
symply down arrow to start reading line by line the msg.  well now, any time 
I page up or whatever to where it says panel, if I then down arrow, 
absolutely nothing happens.  I can't get back into the msg.  Only thing I 
see that even is halfway doable, is to use flat review, with my num pad, and 
left click the first word of the body, and that'll jump my focus back.  This 
really is quit honestly annoying.  Is this a bug, or am I right. I just 
don't quite get how the layout is in Evolution.  I know a lotta you may 
recommend Thunderbird instead, and that's fine, but, is there no way else to 
do this?  I thought a setting up alpine, but I can't figure out how to set 
my road running pop3 account up.  I dono where I put the settings in.  I see 
where the smtp server goes, but not the other pop3 stuff.  Don't tell me I 
gotta make a .fetchmailrc file.  I don't remember the syntax to that at all. 
It's been years upon years! sense I'm messed with that.

Can someone help?  btw, on another note, Storem, the post where you talk 
about enabling hight tracking in speak up off the main page at 
stormdragon.us?  You might wanna edit that post to tell people it's the 
asterisk key on the numpad or in the case of most laptops make sure numlock 
is off, then do function+p.  that on all the systems I've seen is the star 
key.

speak up+shift+num row 8 won't do it.  I tried.  Saying as you did to hit 
right arrow to get to the setup menu, then down arrow to it and I think you 
said hit space bar, is really confusing as I tried that knowing, right arrow 
is gonna move character by character in a terminal not bring up a menu. 
That couple of steps made entirely, honestly no sense.

Or, is it again, I'm missing something here.

anyway... as for the thing about my e-mail in Evolution, someone please 
help, many people as are on here and probably use it, I am positive I'll get 
a response incredibly quick on this.

Chris.
