Gerald, this helps , but actually the choices all seem to have glitches and frustrating choices. I wish microsoft would continue supporting xp and I would pay to take advantage of that.

: : 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? : : Gerald : : : ----- Original Message ----- : From: "David Ferrin" <[email protected]> : To: <[email protected]> : Sent: Sunday, February 24, 2013 3:09 AM : Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Cost of upgrading jaws? : : : > Actually it is called windows mail which was introduced in Vista and then : > promptly abandon.
