I received an error when trying to use Microsoft Outlook 2013 with Gmail that I was not using a secure mail client as well, so the problem is probably not with Thunderbird. There is a setting that allows one to set their Gmail account to work with what google calls "Less secure" software, and one also then needs to enable IMAP as well. These settings are accessed from one's gmail account when accessing it through the Gmail website. Exactly how one gets to these options depends upon whether one is using the Standard or Basic HTML view.

I have just started using window-eyes with windows 10 in VMWare Fusion. It's a steep learning curve, and I'm still finding my way round Windows 10. I've been trying to find an accessible mail client for Windows 10. Have you got any suggestions? Whenever I tried to use Thunderbird in the past, Gmail warns me that Thunderbird is not one of the safe clients they allow and I don't get to collect my messages because they block Thunderbird. I'm also quite worried about these messages to do with safety of Thunderbird. And yet, Mozilla has such a good reputation for privacy. What's going on here? I tried Windows mail application but I can't seem to read messages in it. Also, how accessible is Edge in Windows 10 and Internet Explorer? And Firefox? Does Window-eyes play well with these browsers? Earlier on today I tried to access a website where I do a learning course that uses a lot of flash, and I got stuck immediately in Internet Explorer. Then I installed Firefox and tried to configure it but I it seems to work somewhat differently in Windows 10 compared to Windows 7. And lastly, does Skype work well in Windows 10 with Window-eyes? There's some kind of integration in Windows 10 between Internet Explorer and Skype, but again I couldn't work out what was going on. I managed to sign into my account but I couldn't do anything in the window. Couldn't find my contacts, couldn't understand how things work in Skype. Thanks for any tips.
