Checking for new mail
You must be connected to the Internet to check your e-mail. Your e-mail
program must also be open. For more information on starting programs
and controlling your computer by voice, see Chapter 6, “Working With
Your Desktop and Windows.”
To check for new mail, say “Check For New Mail” or “Check For E-Mail.”
This command checks your Inbox for new messages.
You can say “Mail,” “Message,” “Memo,” or “E-Mail” interchangeably in any of
the e-mail commands.
Opening and closing mail
To open a mail message, select it and say “Open Mail.” Once a message is
selected, you can also say “Open That.” To close an open message, say
“Close Mail.”
You can move to the message and select it by “pressing” function and arrow keys
by voice (see “Pressing keyboard keys,” page 111) or using the Move commands (see
page 89).
Composing mail
To compose a new message, say “New Mail” or “New Message.” Once the
new blank message appears, you can navigate to any field by voice and
start dictating.
