Hello Margaret, I don't use Windows Live Mail but when using Windows 7you can easily accomplish what you are trying to do using the Windows start menu search box. For example, if you have a mail folder called "JAWS Users" and you want to list all messages in that folder that were received from 10/20/11 to 10/22/11, you could type the following search after pressing the Windows key to bring up the start menu search box:
in:jaws users Received:10/20/11..10/22/11 You could also type: in:jaws users received:>10/19/11<10/23/11 To find messages in the "JAWS Users" folder received yesterday, you could type: In:JAWS Users received:yesterday If I want to find all messages from you in my "JAWS Users" folder using that same date range, I could type: in:JAWS users received:10/20/11..10/22/11 from:margaret If I want to find all messages in that same date range in the JAWS Users folder with your name anywhere in the message, I would type the search as follows: In:jaws users received:10/20/11..10/22/11 margaret If you want to list all messages in that same date range with JAWS in the "From" field regardless of which folders contain the messages, you could type: from:jaws Received:10/20/11..10/22/11 or from:jaws received:>10/19/11<10/23/11 After typing the search criteria in the Windows start menu search box, you might want to tab to the "see more results" choice and press enter to put the results in a list in its own window. You might want to use arrow keys across the above examples to find out the proper spacing and punctuation. Take care.

So far, I'm not getting your instructions to work. JAWS is not saying the status as checked with Control right arrow and is only saying the date or part of the date. I've been able to change the dates, but the results are not accurate, so I think the items really aren't checked. I did a search in my In-Box for messages received from October 20, 2011 to October 22, 2011 and I knew there were some, but 0 items were found. I played with the dates some and was able to come up with something of switching to JAWS cursor and left clicking on the graphic to the left of received after, switching back to PC, tabbing once, switching to JAWS cursor and left clicking on the graphic just to the left of received before, switching back to PC, and hitting enter. Six messages for my October 20, 2011 to October 22, 2011 search turned up which should have been about right. I'll work more on it later since I need a break and could be missing something with your instructions.

I am coming to Windows Live Mail 2011 from Outlook Express and I thought WLM 2011 didn't have first letter navigation in the folders list or for manually moving messages to different folders. Am I missing something here? I had 40 folders in OE and am trying to pare the number down for my OE messages to go into WLM 2011. For example, I have an OE folder for posts on Windows 7 saved along with a couple of other folders wh ose names begin with "W" and moving messages to a "W" folder with first letter navigation is pretty painless. I'm dreading the thought of all those down arrow presses to get to a "W" folder in WLM2011 and have been trying to think how I can consolidate my existing 34 folders into something like a half dozen in addition to the default ones Microsoft gives such as In-box. I've been happily working with all my OE folders for years and I'm not relishing the thought of having to remember a new slimmed down fol der list!

I have used Windows Live Mail 2011 for long time, and with Jaws 12 and 13 beta, it work's fine. I have created rules for several thing's, and i have post, sorted into at least 60 folders. I have also 4 e-mail adress's with rules for sorting post from the different inbox's to specified subfolders, and all works fine. Jaws support's all the structure in the program's interface, but it takes time to learn and be patient with the new interface, because it is using the band structure, just as the newest version's of Microsoft Office. But finding out how to create the subfolder's and how to create the rules, will take time, because there is nothing to compare with the previous interface. Hans Pauli. -----Oprindelig meddelelse----- Fra: john R. Vaughn Dato: 21. oktober 2011 02:31 Til: [email protected] Emne: Re: [JAWS-Users] re-windows live mail and jaws Jim, thank you. And are you talking about the Windows Live Mail 2011? Certainly this version is easier to find for download. Has Freedom scientific written any scripts for it? Can you create messege rule to help deal with large volumns of special interest mail like this Jaws users list? thank you for any additional thoughts. I know Outlook 2010 will also work but that will cost me an additional $80 or so to purchase.
