Hi All,

I use Advanced Find (Control-Shift-F in the message list view in Outlook 
Express a bunch of times every day and I was very much hoping I could use the 
same feature, or something like it in 
Windows Live Mail 2011 on my Windows 7 computer.  Some of the items that can be 
found that I've tried so far to find seem to be working the same and properly 
except the part for dates.  JAWS 12 does not seem to be indicating check boxes 
for the dates so they can be checked to be able to work with the dates to find 
the range.

In Outlook Express the sequence is:

1. Start from the message list view in OE.
2. Press Control-Shift-F.  JAWS says Look in and you can find items in a 
particular folder or in local folders so all folders are searched.  I happened 
to be in the JAWS users folder when I started my date search and, just for 
example, I want to search for all posts in my jaws users folder received today.
3. Press alt c to start the date search.  JAWS says received after and 
something that sounds like day time ticker.  October 21 twenty eleven check box 
not checked 
4. Press space bar to check the check box.  JAWS says checked.
5. Tab one time. JAWS says received before day time ticker October 21 twenty 
eleven check box not checked. 
6.  Press space bar to check the check box.  JAWS says checked.
7. Press enter.  JAWS says list view and the messages are listed.

The dates can be navigated so you can check for different ranges such as from 
the beginning of the year to the present date and combined with sender, 
subject, if there's an attachment etc.

It's working properly with JAWS 10 and 12 on the XP Home, but JAWS 12 doesn't 
seem to be indicating the check boxes on the 64 bit Win 7 Home Premium machine. 
 I don't know if they need to be labeled and, if so, which graphics should be 
labeled.

I'd love to get my old friend working on the new machine or learning of another 
way of accomplishing the same thing if it can't.

Any help some kind soul can offer would be absolutely wonderful!

Margaret
