pain enabled and if so which setting? Thanks in advance!

In Outlook 2007, I press F6 to move from the list view of messages to the
message body. JAWS reads the message automatically and I don't have to
open
the message. After reading the message, I usually press F6 again to return
to the list of messages, then I hit the delete key which moves the focus
to
the next message in the list. So, all I usually use are two keys: F6 and
Delete.
It's all done quite efficiently, IMO, and I really don't see how it could
be
done much easier. Oh yeah, I read my messages in plain text, which may
make
a difference.
I agree that Outlook 2007's dependence on Word does slow down some other
functions and it takes up more disk space than I'd like.

I am using it now, and using it to write this message. I do not like it
as much as 2003, but, as I define accessible, I would have to say that
at least the Email client is accessible, as that is all of it that I use
on a daily basis. But I don't like it. Office 2007 is a resource hog.
Programs take a long time to load, and I find just about all operations
to be slow. Even simple things like messages opening. And, because
Outlook 2007 uses Word as it's editor, messages will only read
automatically if you open them by using the ENTER key. If you are used
to deleting an open message with CONTROL-D, and expecting the next
message to start reading automatically, it ain't gonna happen. And it
doesn't matter which screen reader you use. And, I didn't even mention
the ribbons. They are accessible, and there are keyboard commands that
you can memorize that pretty much circumvent the ribbon. Also, there is
an add-on that you can buy for $30 that will give you a toolbar that
recreates the classic dropdown menus.
