Dear SUBRAMANI,
I understand your fondness for Outlook Express, and it's a sentiment shared by many who appreciated its straightforward design. However, I must inform you that Outlook Express 6 is no longer supported by Microsoft. The reason you are experiencing compatibility issues with JAWS 19+ and NVDA is because Outlook Express was last updated to work with Windows XP. The technology for both operating systems and screen readers has advanced significantly since then. Modern versions of screen readers are designed to work with current applications, not with software that has been unsupported for over a decade. Continuing to use Outlook Express would not only be frustrating from an accessibility standpoint but would also expose your computer to significant security risks. Because it no longer receives security updates, it is vulnerable to viruses, phishing attacks, and other malicious software that have emerged in the years since its discontinuation. While it's understandable that you miss the "luxury" of Outlook Express, there are modern email clients that offer similar user-friendly experiences while being fully accessible and secure. You're already using Thunderbird, which is a great choice and is widely regarded for its accessibility features. Both JAWS and NVDA have been developed with modern email clients in mind, so you should find that they work seamlessly with current versions of Thunderbird, as well as with other popular clients like Windows Mail and the latest versions of Microsoft Outlook. I hope this helps explain the situation. The move to a modern email client is the best way to ensure both your security and a fully accessible experience.

I am unable to use oe6 with jaws 19 and above. Whenever I use jaws with oe, jaws doesn't read anything. Even the latest NVDA doesn't read anything while in oe6. Although I am using thunderbird, I really miss the luxury of using oe. So If anyone is still using oe with jaws successfully, please reply. (P. SUBRAMANI) Sent from my iPhone -- Disclaimer: 1.
