Thunderbird is still supported and will be for a very long time to come 
though its not updated all that often, - there's only so much that can 
be done with an eMail client . -

Yep that offer is still available though I'd advise you to purchase some 
extra voices from GW Micro if you go that way, the default Microsoft 
voices don't work well with Window-Eyes at all.



I mainly use NVDA these days which works very well in the main with all 
Office 2016 Apps.

Course the other attraction of OOutlook is its multi platform use,

I hadn't thought about window eyes, although I guess I could get it free since 
I do have a 365 subscription thing, if that offer is still around that is..

I also use Thunderbird and like Dayne I am thinking of going to outlook 2016, 
it work well with window-eyes 9.4 and as I also use it at work it makes the

Dear Gordon,

 

Addition of video, for those who can benefit from its use, seems a really 
worthwhile addition.

Re: [Techno-Chat]; Article: Microsoft declares war on dumb passwords

[Gordon Smith]

Thank you for complying with list policy here.  A little description, followed 
by a URL.  Will those other people who insist on posting full articles which 
can be linked too rather than simply dumped to the list, please, refrain from 
so doing! Failure to comply will result in removal, because I’m tired of 
receiving complaints off list about this behaviour.

Meanwhile, I totally agree with Dane’s assertion that a password manager is an 
essential tool in this day and age.  The number of people who I have spoken too 
recently who still use pet names, spouse’s name, birthday, age and other 
related things as passwords is quite frankly astonishing.

Dear Gordon,

 

Many thanks for posting your message.

 

I for one would be interested to read your review and, if accompanied by an
