Thank you, but that was not the answer. The window is already
maximized. Ctrl-numpad page down says absolutely nothing. If I move to
my Carol folder, it says 465 items. If I am on the desktop, it says
5/23/2017. If I select some random items from a folder, it then says x
number of items selected. It will read how many pages, words and some
percentage in Office Word. It will not read anything from Thunderbird
that should represent any type of status information. I can go back to
the main folder list in Thunderbird and get a number of how many unread
messages there are for all unread messages, but they are not broken into
different accounts.
I have finished beating this dead horse, so I am walking off into the
sunset, grin!

Sometimes I find that the status lines only reads correctly when the window has
been maximized. You might see if that helps in this case.

Subject: Re: Reading the Status Line in JAWS
If the key is insert-page down, then I never have anything in the status
line except for the file explorer. I am used to having a status line in
Thunderbird that tells me how many messages there, how many are not read
and in some cases, how many have been deleted. I have tried using both
the insert-page down on the number pad and the ones on the six-pack. It
says absolutely nothing. Oh yes, somethimes, when I am on the desktop,
it will tell me either the date or the time, depending on what mood it
is in, grin. Thanks for any suggestions.

Yes it's insert plus page down. On a desktop, it's insert plus the numpad 3.

Is there a JAWS equivalent for reading the status line in a window in MS Word
or other programs? Reading the top or bottom line doesn’t give enough
information. If one can’t identify the cursor position, using MS Word is almost
impossible.
