That's correct, however, you can get Windows Live Mail from
http://get.live.com and all you'd need to do is hit enter on the download
button and install the program or programs you wanted on your machine.

The reason I'd want to use live mail is straight forward. Eventually, I
will be forced to upgrade to Microsoft's latest and greatest os. I've
already had to do this with the new laptop I got, which has Windows 7 64
bit. Since the laptop has live mail installed, I figured it would be a
good idea to put it on my desktop. Hopefully, this would make moving
emails from my desktop to my laptop and vice versa easier. Correct me if
I'm wrong, but Windows 7 does not come with outlook express installed (or
any mail client for that matter).

Subject: [JAWS-Users] questions about live mail
I noticed when I tried to use live mail with jaws 11, several things
are different.
1. It didn't announce the status of the message (example unread).
2. It didn't announce the status of a conversation (collapsed or
expanded).
Answer for 1 and 2: You need to have graphics read all turned on (Use
insert V to get there)
Then the appropriate graphics need to be labeled. This is easier with
sighted help but I did figure out the unread, attachment, and expanded
graphics and labeled them. Then I changed my graphics setting back to
graphics labeled.
3. Autocomplete is turned on for addresses. When filling in the to
field on a new message, it didn't announce the address or name of the
contact. In outlook express, it does this.
Answer: Actually, when you tab and then shift tab it will read the
expanded addresses. But it does not use the names to expand. It will
expand the email address if you start to type the beginning letters of
the email address but this is not really convenient since I don't have
all the addresses memorized. What does work pretty well is to give each
contact a nickname that is distinctive. I use first names or things like
sister, grandson, husband, etc. Then you can type the nicknames
followed by a comma and the addresses will fill in automatically. But
you still have to tab and shift tab to get back and hear them.
4. When trying to get to the message body when creating a new message,
Jaws jumps in and out of forms mode. It then starts reading what looks
like a web page. If you try to navigate around the page, the system
sometimes goes haywire and you get ding-ding-ding-ding.
Answer: I don't get this problem. When replying to a message I do have
to press the left mouse key to put focus in the edit field for the
reply. But the regular editing functions work at that point. I do have
document presentation set to simple layout if that might make a
difference. I also have screen track virtual cursor on but I don't
know if that makes any difference.
5. First letter navigation doesn't appear to be working in the folder
list.
You can probably guess what the question is. How do you fix it or is it
something that can be fixed? Thanks for any information you can
provide. I'm using windows xp sp3.
Answer: I have not found any first letter navigation in the folder list.
The home and end keys do take you to the top and bottom of the list
which is handy. I also have the folders grouped into subfolders For
example each current mailing list has it's own folder included in a
folder called a new mail folder. This way the folders that need checking
regularly are all at the top of the list. Then I have folders for saving
emails in such categories as Letters to save, Food-Health related, For
future reference, etc. These have other folders inside so that when
arrowing up and down the folder list I can close the main folders and
not have to arrow through each sub folder.
Now my question is "Since you have Xp that means you have access to
Outlook Express. Why would you want to use Windows Live Mail if you
don't have TO?
