check for new mail – checks for new mail/opens your Inbox

TIP

In lists (of messages, of folders…), you can use navigation commands like move down 3, move up 9…

As you create e-mails, you can move between fields by hand, by saying Tab or Tab key, or by saying the

following (the word field is optional, and you can substitute go for move):

move to To [field] – moves the cursor so that you can then dictate the recipient's address

move to CC | BCC |Subject [field]

move to Body [field] – moves the cursor to the body of the e-mail so that you can dictate the message

Note: If you wish to use Web-based email such as Gmail, be sure to familiarize yourself with Dragon 11’s

support for Web browsers (Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox). Within Gmail, you may also wish to explore

the impact of switching from Gmail’s Standard display to its Basic HTML display.

Key points about Dragon 11 and e-mail

In supported e-mail programs, the higher editions of Dragon provide many voice commands to perform 

tasks, such as open message, delete memo, go to Subject…

In e-mail commands, you can use the words message, e-mail, memo, or mail interchangeably.

If you have Microsoft Outlook and your edition of Dragon supports them, you can use direct commands 

(the “Dragon Voice Shortcuts”) like book meeting with <contact(s)>, create message to <contact(s)>,

create email about <subject>, and create task about <subject>, no matter what application is

active: there is no need to first switch to Outlook.

You can see more e-mail commands in the Command Browser and the Dragon Sidebar; in addition, the 

Help contains many details about using Dragon with e-mail. Remember that Dragon 11 contains a

command that lets you name keywords to search for in the Help: for instance, you could say “search

Dragon help for Outlook calendar.”
