Yes, you've made it worse.

You reversed the programs Windows Mail and Windows Live Mail. Windows Mail works in Vista, Windows Live Mail is for Win 7. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Gerald Levy" <[email protected]>

As an inveterate XP user, let me see if I understand all the accessible email clients that work with Windows 7 and 8.

1. Windows Live Mail: Introduced in Vista, it is most similar to Outlook Express, but was dropped in Windows 7, which does not come with any email client of its own. But apparently, it can be made to work with Windows 7 with a few registry tweaks that should not be attempted by the timid or faint of heart.

2. Windows Mail: Not to be confused with the similar-sounding Windows Live Mail above, it works with Windows 7 and 8, but is not nearly as accessible or easy to use as the former.

3. Mail: Windows 8 supposedly comes with an email client simply called Mail, but nobody seems to know much about it.

4. Thunderbird: Not to be confused with the Ford sports coupe of the same name, an email client developed by Mozilla, the Firefox folks, that is supposed to be compatible with XP, Windows 7 and Windows 8.

5. Edora: An older email client that is no longer supported but still favored by some JAWS users that works with XP and Windows 7

6. Outlook: the email client that comes bundled with MS Office, it is compatible with JAWS and works with all versions of Windows.

7. Outlook Express: still a favorite with XP users because of its simplicity and ease of use, but does not work with higher versions of Windows.

Okay, have I cleared up the confusion or merely made it worse? Have I missed anything?

Actually it is called windows mail which was introduced in Vista and then
promptly abandon. Yes it is almost the same as outlook express and it can be enabled in windows 7 the fact is to do it requires adding a few keys to your
registry and replacing a DLL file or so. I have done it and the files ETC
are still on my server I must point out a something. You must have service
pack 1 installed prior to enabling windows mail to play it safe. To be
honest so far that is the current stumbling block that I am aware but that
does not mean there won't be future issues to come.

A word to the wise and like the note on the server says "this should not be
done by a beginner".

SUgar and Scorpio and all:  I'm nervous,, too, but hearing that Outlook
Express is included in win 7 is easing my mind a bit.  I don't do
complicated things on my computer so I don't need any bells and whistles.
However, if msoft is going to cease supporting xp, I'll want to upgrade my
operating system.  I actually have jaws' last two upgrades but am still
using v 12 because it works best.
I am dependent on all of you to give guidance since I do not know anyone
locally who understands a thing about jaws or etc. Maybe I will just wait and see, hoping I don't pass up an opportunity to buy win 7 and get shoved
into 8 or something else that I'll hate.  Thanks.  Marilyn
