Well, Outlook is a mess. I have multiple copies of the same message some of the time, I can't get to the emails sent to the, "to Miriam", folder, I can't address emails unless I have the email address stored in a word document which I've kept with some addresses or if I can steal an address from an email list. If someone can figure this out and help, I'd love it. I don't do all that well with technology. I'm old. My hearing isn't great. I had a young sighted person here with me on Friday which made dealing with Microsoft easier, but there were 2 calls with 2 different people and it took hours! And in the end, only one piece of the problem was fixed.

I'm also using Outlook 2016, along with Windows 7. I have bad experiences with Microsoft Disability support, unless the problem turns out to be really simple, in which case I don't need them! I'll only call them as a last resort, and even then I've had to find someone else to fix the damage they do. -----Original Message----- From: JAWS-Users-List <jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com> On Behalf Of Miriam Vieni Sent: Saturday, April 21, 2018 12:11 PM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: [JAWS-Users] Jaws 18 and Outlook 2016 I'm wondering if there is a problem with Jaws 18 and Outlook 2016 because the Microsoft disabilities tech person thought that this might be causing my difficulty. Outlook stopped functioning. When I called, the first person set up a new profile in Outlook, whatever that is. But then the problem actdually persisted. Outlook would open, begin to work, and then stop functioning. I called again. The second tech person replaced all of office 365, promising that all the settings would remain the same. They didn't. But the other problem is that everything worked except the, "to Miriam", folder to which all my important emails go. That one continues to close. I asked him to remove that folder for me and set things up so that everything goes to the inbox, but he refused. Also, I can't address emails. Auto complete doesn't work properly and unrelated email addresses appear, even if I just try to write in an address. I managed to get to the address book one time, but couldn't use it to address an email. I'm sending this because I can read emails from my inbox and use one of the email addresses from that. Microsoft is having someone from a higher level call back on Monday. Before that happens, I want to know if anyone who is still using Jaws 18 and is using Outlook 2016 has had a similar problem.
