Hi all,
The below was taken from an NVDA tutorial.
Wondering if it can be done using jaws?
How to show or hide columns in your Mozilla Thunderbird
email header
When you first download a copy of Mozilla Thunderbird and
set it up, your messages will go to your inbox. The
information being
read out will be in the column headers (for example the
time, subject, etcetera).
These will be set to a default, which is read out by NVDA.
To add in extra columns or hide them, locate your inbox,
then tab into
it. Here is where your messages are and you could arrow up
and down these messages. If you choose the first message,
make sure
your review cursor is set to simple review mode. This menu
can be found under the NVDA preferences section called
review cursor
menu. This box will need to be checked.
Next, you will need to go into object navigation mode in
NVDA. Use the NVDA key + the number 1 on the numeric keypad
to do this.
Next, you will need to use the NVDA key + the number 4 on
the numeric keypad. Do this until you hear NVDA say List.
Next, use the
NVDA key + the number 2 on the numeric keypad to go down a
level, and you should hear NVDA say thread column header
display message
threads. Next, you will have to press the NVDA key + the
number 6 on the numeric keypad until you hear it say select
columns to
display button. When you hear NVDA say this, press the
NVDA key + the Enter key on the numeric keypad. A menu will
drop
down and here you can arrow down and up the list. The
columns that are checked are the ones you hear in the column
header
being read out. The ones that are not checked are not read out. If
unchecked, and you want it to be read out, press the Enter key
on it to check it. If it is checked and you do not want it
to be read out, press the Enter key on it to uncheck it. The
above process
will need to be done each time for each column you want to
show or hide.
So, if I wanted NVDA to tell me when I have read emails,
have unread emails, attachments, or the status of an email,
I would make
sure these are checked. If the status one is done as well,
it will tell you when they are forwarded, replied to and so on.
