To be clearer: Windows Mail is the Windows Vista mail client. Windows Live Mail is the windows 7 mail client. Two different clients. I don't know if the outlook Express tweak will work on Windows7, as it was designed for windows Vista. and the modern Windows Live Mail is ribbons rather than menus. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Scorpio" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Sunday, February 24, 2013 2:25 AM Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Cost of upgrading jaws? > 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. > > Scorpio > For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: > http://www.jaws-users.com/help/ > For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/ For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/
