Using JAWS 11 latest with Windows Live Mail, I can move between folders all
works well. It will announce unread and attachment when appropriate, all is
well. However, if I hit Enter on a message to read the message, it will
read only about 50% of the time. Most of the time, the Delete key will
announce "delete" but do nothing. Even using Control + D, I can only read a
couple of messages before it stops reading correctly and nothing I do short
of unloading and starting JAWS again will it start reading again. If I
attempt to compose a message it gets confused regarding Forms Mode, and
again sometimes, the only way to get it right again is to restart JAWS.
These issues make it unusable for me! Strangely, the scripts that came with
JAWS 10 work much better for me!
Of course, there are also minor issues with both 10 and 11. The address
autocomplete name does not get announced. The number of unread messages are
not announced as you arrow through the folders. The last thing I remember
off the top of my head is that the hotkeys Alt + 1 through Alt + 3 do not
work to read those header fields to read the From, Date, and To fields.
Using Alt + 6 to read the Subject is the only such header info that reads
reliably.

I'm using Windows Live Mail with JAWS 11, and have no problems reading
email with it.
What difficulties are you having, or, how is JAWS 10 reacting differently
than JAWS 11 in Windows Live Mail?

I am fairly sure that Windows Live Mail will not work well with JAWS 8
since I do not think Live existed at the time. I have had the best luck
using JAWS 10 with Windows Live Mail! In fact, I have been switching
from JAWS 11 back to JAWS 10 just to read mail and then switching back to
JAWS 11 for everything else. FS claims an update is imminent. I hope it
fixes this issue.
