Hi Sugar,
Though not commonly known, there is a version of Outlook Express included
with Windows 7, just hidden from users so they can purchase Office
products for Outlook, or force people to use Windows Live Mail.
I have the tweaks, files and instructions uploaded to send space, but
should you take that plunge into Windows 7, you don't have to worry about
upgrading to another mail client, as the instructions are quite simple and
easy to go through.
I should also note that the main difference between Outlook Express and
Windows Mail is the inclusion of a Junk Mail folder, the ability to deal
with Spam messages more easily with the applications key, and a couple of
annoying bugs, though I'm not sure if this is a Windows issue, or a Jaws
issue.
The first bug is that the auto complete feature of Windows Mail is hit or
miss.
Oh, don't get me wrong, the addresses do auto complete, but Jaws isn't
reporting the completed address, so you're left wondering if it's going to
the proper address.
The second bug is the fact that when using your arrow keys to go through
the folder list on the left-hand side of the screen, should you come
across a folder containing saved messages in it, Jaws automatically moves
focus to the message list from the folder list.
It doesn't matter whether the messages are unread or not, and you're never
sure how many messages you have that are unread in that folder or what, as
you never get a chance to listen to Jaws read out the entire folder name
and unread messages as it did in Outlook Express. This is especially the
case if you have message rules implemented, and you have your messages
sorted by subject words and if the messages go into their own folders.
Other than that, Windows Mail is exactly like Outlook Express, with a
couple of tweaks here and there.
I also don't know if Freedom Scientific has stopped supporting Windows
mail, but Eric can speak to that should he decide it's warranted.
Hope this helps.
