Mail Clients

2011-12-19 Thread Mrs. Lynnette Annabel Smith
Hello everybody I'm curious as to which email clients, apart from Thunderbird, there are available for Windows 7. We're trying to decide which client to use and I've read that there are still some horrible issues with WE and Thunderbird. What about Windows Mail, is that worth considering?

Yep, there are some issues with Thunderbird and Window-Eyes, that's widely acknowledged and GW Micro have been roundly condemned for saying everything's fixed in the latest version of WE and for not paying attention to the problems, one can actually say that Window-Eyes is nearing the point of

Hi! I purchased a Sangean ATS909X World Band receiver quite some time ago and I'm now only putting the set through its paces. I could write pages and pages about this unit and I'll do that on my blog in the future I'm sure but I do feel that this set deserves praise for its SSB reception.

Chris, tell GW Micro from me that I'd rather them fix Window-Eyes first than develop what's already out there in the form of accessible Skype software, I'd tell them myself but I just got off their list and I'm absolutely disgusted with that company and the way they're treating their client

Well, sorry to hear of your problems, but they are a company and they need to promote themselves somehow. One way was to give back something for us at no charge in time for Christmas. Oh well, if we were all happy life would be boring smiles. I agree they should fix Window-Eyes, but just some

Chris, Geoff et al I must say I tend to agree with Geoff, but would like to widen the discussion - is a subject change in order? I'm interested in other people's views on an increasing number of 'self-voicing' programs that are coming out. There is great trumpetting when these appear, to the
