[0:17] This Unmute Presents Community Call was hosted on Tuesday, June 6, 2023. Hello, everyone, and welcome back to another Unmute. We want to get everyone's tech questions answered. So go ahead and raise your hands, and we'll get to you as quickly as possible after a couple of announcements here. We also want to remind everyone we're going to go through all the first hands up. And if we have enough time, we'll take second hands and be respectful to everyone, as you would want to be for yourself to get everyone's questions answered, no matter how easy or tough you think they are because we always say there's no dumb questions. Michael, how you doing? I am doing well. I tried to get Mallory to come live with us today. She called me right as Chanel's announcement was playing and I'm like, we're live in like 30 seconds. You want to go live with me? And she got off the phone real fast. She was not interested. Oh, well, one of these days we'll have to get her on.

[1:17] That will be a first cause she's never been on any of my podcasts, uh, intentionally intentionally anyways. Uh, so Marty we've been publishing some interesting things over at unmute. Haven't we? Yeah. A couple of things here and there, you know? Yeah. Yeah. Technically working dropped yesterday with Demasi and I, if you haven't listened to that and you want 110 minutes, Marty loves those longer episodes of rambling this between Demasi and myself, go capture that episode. And then on Sunday I posted a follow up to a question someone had asked us related to the numpad commander on the Mac.

[1:53] Interesting thing there is I learned how I should probably configure my numpad commander because I have it configured in a way that probably could be done more reliably. And then Lynn and Marty sat down, talked about some tech things on Friday. So that was that episode that dropped. And then on Thursday, as we typically do, we had something a little bit more in depth. And that was a fun episode with Allison Sheridan from the Podfeet Empire. Uh, so if you're interested in that, learning more about how she as a sighted Mac user tests, some apps for accessibility and what she's done with podcasting and some fun adventures, uh, real worth the listen. Then we posted on the shell phone show on Wednesday of last week, accessing the manual on the blind shell classic too. Once you have that blind shell classic too, how do you go and learn more about operating the device itself? And then of Of course, we had the ACB Community Paul replay for May 30th. We're already in June. Can you believe it, Marty? Crazy, I know. We're halfway through the year already. It seems like I'm still getting over the holidays. Definitely. Let's go take some of these hands and then stay tuned because we have a cool demo that we will show you before the end of the hour that's exciting that I guarantee some of you will be using this summer. Monica, who do we have first? Doc.

[3:17] Hey, Doc. How are you doing? You are muted. Good morning. Oh, there you are. Hope I'm unmuted. Yeah, you are. We can hear you. Well, okay. I was going to give you a report on how to delete mail folders. I told you once before I was just deleting them and they were coming back. So, I finally have figured out the routine. Okay. Okay. When you're in email, you hit F6 until you get the mail folders preview, arrow to the folder you want to delete, press the application key or shift F10 if you don't have one and then down arrow to delete folder And wallah, it is gone forever. And you have to hit enter a second time to confirm that you do want to delete it. Right. So that's how it goes away forever. So let you know. Thank you.

[4:15] Yeah. Appreciate your directions. Okay. Have a good one. You too. Thank you. Next we have Beth. Hey Beth. Okay. You can.
