Hi Marvin In Outlook 2010, the default location for the Outlook PST file, which holds the messages, calendar etc, is my documents/outlook. However, each folder created in Outlook 2010 can have a different PST file in a different location. To find the location and PST file for any folder, do the following:
1. While in the message list for any mail folder, press alt+f to open the file menu. 2. Tab 3 times until you get to account settings. 3. Press enter to open the drop down b menu and then press enter again. 4. You should be on the e-mail tab. Press right arrow to move to the data files tab. 5. Press Shift+tab to move to the list view which will show you the name and location of the PST file. I'm not sure why you would want to delete the Outlook data folder. But if Outlook is not running in the foreground or background, you should be able to delete it or individual PST files with Windows Explorer. To have messages read automatically when they are open, while in a message press JAWSkey+v. Arrow down to reading options and then arrow down to messages automatically read. If it doesn't say on, press space bar until it says on. Then press enter. To have a message automatically opened when you delete a message, do the following: 1. Press alt+f to open the file menu. 2. Arrow up or down until you are on the Help tab. 3. Press tab until you're at options and press enter 4. Arrow up or down until you are on the mail tab. 5. Press shift+tab until it says After moving or deleting an open item. You can find this with just the tab key, but it takes a lot more presses. 6. Use the down arrow to cycle through the choices. 7. . When you find the option you want, press tab to go to the OK button and press enter. As you probably have discovered, it can be very difficult to read a HTML message in outlook itself. The quickest way to do this after you open a HTML message is to press alt+h for the Message tab. If you're not using the virtual ribbons of JAWS 12, then press a (for actions) and v (for view in browser). These keystrokes sometimes work even when using the virtual ribbons. If they don't, press alt+h to open the Message tab. Arrow down to the Move submenu, and right arrow to open it. Arrow down to the actions drop down and press space. Then press v. The problem with reading HTML messages in outlook appears to be due to the fact that JAWS doesn't realize that it is in an HTML message. The HTML navigation keys are not active. If you were to press JAWSkey+f7 to open the links list when you first get into the html email, JAWS says not in spell checker. However, I have found that I can read most HTML messages in Outlook itself if I press alt+tab to move away from the message and immediately press it again to move back to the message. Then the message will read fine and the HTML navigation keys work. This doesn't work for all HTML messages and there are still some I have to view in the browser.
