Hi shoshana, In outlook 2007 and 2010 To delete a message and have the next message automatically open try the following: 1. Go to Tools > Options > tab once to "Email options..." and press enter. 2. You will land on the following item: "After moving or deleting an open item." This is a combo box, so you can press up or down arrow to modify the setting. Make sure to select the following item: "Open the next item." 3. Shift tab about 2 or 3 times to locate the "Ok" button and press enter. 4. Once again press Shift+tab about 4 times to "Ok" and press enter. 5. Open an email message then press Control+d (delta). The currently open email message should be deleted and the next email message should show.
I really, really would like to discourage you from reading through your e-mail in this manner, as you might unwittingly be inviting something nasty into your computer. You are essentially opening all email without any consideration as to where it came from or who sent it to you. <Smile>. On the other hand, if you have created message rules to automatically sort your mail into their respective folders, reading mail in this manner can be completed quite quickly. The danger of accidentally opening something nasty still exists, but it is not as great as automatically opening everything in your Inbox. Don't forget that your Deleted items folder will get a bit cluttered, so you will want to go in there every couple of days and clear everything out.

After all, you all are far more knowledgeable than I, so let me explain. Until I got this computer, which my computer guru pre-loaded for me (with legally licensed software) I used Outlook express, and liked it. One of the things I really liked was that I could go into a folder, start with the first message, open and read it, hit delete, and the next message would automatically open and JAWS would read it. This made clearing a folder easy and relatively effort free. I can't do that with my Outlook 2007. I have to open the message, let JAWS read it, then close the message, delete the read message, go to the next message and repeat. I know I could probably find OE again somewhere, but there are features in Outlook I really do like, and, well, it's here, so I'm willing to keep it, and if there is no way to set it to do what I described above, I can live with that, too ... but is there a way?
