2.1 Reading Mail
If you are not already viewing mail, switch to the mail tool by clicking the Mail shortcut button, or press Ctrl+1. To read a
message, select it in the message list; if you’d like to see it in its own window, either double-click it, press Enter, or press Ctrl+O.
Tip
To read mail with the keyboard, you can click the Spacebar to page down and press Backspace to page up while reading an
email. Ensure that you use the keys when the message list is enabled.
Navigate the message list by using the arrow keys on the keyboard. To go to the next and previous unread messages, press the
period (.) or comma (,) keys. On some keyboards, these keys are also marked with the > and < symbols, which is a convenient
way to remember that they move you forward and backward in your message list. You can also use the right square bracket (])
for the next unread message, and the left square bracket ([) for the previous unread message.
2.1.1 Magic Spacebar for Reading Mail
With Magic Spacebar, you can easily read the unread messages in all the mail folders. You can read mail, scroll through mail
and switch folders by using the Spacebar on your keyboard.
To enable Magic Spacebar:
1. Select Edit > Preferences, then select Mail Accounts.
2. Select the Enable Magic Spacebar check box.
