Checking Email

  1. Press the "m" key to check for new mail. (Note: if the virtual cursor is on, you'll need to bypass it before pressing "m".)
  2. The screen reader may announce, "Checking".
  3. When the check for new mail is complete, the Inbox will load and the first message in the Inbox folder will have focus and the virtual cursor will be off.

Note: Yahoo! Mail will periodically check for new email. So, the screen reader may occasionally announce, "Checking".
