If you want to move from message to message in Outlook use control period. I have used this method for a long time, the caveat being, then you have to delete them later.

Use Alt+F followed by Alt+T to go into options. Use down arrow key to the Mail options category. Use Shift+Tab a few times and you will find the "After moving or deleting an open item" combo box. Press down arrow key until you find the "open the next item" choice. Tab to OK button and press spacebar. After setting that option the next message in the list should open after you close the current message or delete it. If you are reading a message and you just want to read the next one use CTRL with the period to open the next message or CTRL with comma to open the previous one. I think that will work okay in Outlook 2010. In Outlook 2013 the next and previous messages open but JAWS doesn't seem to focus right all the time. Take care.

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?
