Challenges with Apple Mail auto-complete

[Guest Asterax]

Hi all,

 

I'm seeking advice regarding some challenges with Apple Mail auto-complete email addresses for a friend's AOL mail IMAP account. Main issue: in Apple Mail, recently contacted email addresses are not appearing via auto-complete. As such, I'm doing some research for him and have some questions:

 

- Any resources on how email contacts are managed in Apple Mail?

 

- Any resources on how email contacts are managed in Apple Contacts? What's the difference? I'm not 100% clear how they are linked.

 

- Seeking alternative to Apple Mail for someone who is legally blind. Are there some alternatives with a simpler interface and possibly better integration with VoiceOver? Just curious

 

Any help is appreciated.
