Thank you so much for this information. Until now, if I wanted to know
how many messages there were in my TB account, I would need to unload
Jaws and read with Window-Eyes. This was one of my issues. I was
getting so many emails that I couldn't keep up and I am, of course,
still torn between using Window-Eyes and Jaws. There are features in
each program that are useful. Also, if you have your Jaws verbosity set
to beginner or intermediate, you can get the item number for desktop
icons and Windows Explorer icons by pressing insert-tab. This does not
work in advanced settings.

Hi Brenda,
I have verbosity set to intermediate but no desktop icons are indexed
unfortunately.
Although Jaws does not index the messages in Thunderbird like WE did,
there is a way to gain the information with Jaws. The total number of
messages in the folder can be obtained from the folder name prior to
entering the folder. The number of read and unread messages can be
located at the bottom of the screen with the touch cursor.
1. press control end to go to the bottom of the list of messages.
2. turn on the touch cursor with shift numpad plus.
3.use the right arrow to go down to the bottom where you will find the
number of read and unread messages. Press numpad plus twice quickly to
leave the touch cursor.

Hey Neville,
I have Jaws set to read the desktop that way (e.g. 15 of 26)but it
doesn't work in TB. I think I found the setting in the help menu
under start-up options - I changed the verbosity to intermediate.
I'm pretty sure that is when the deskitop started reading 15 of 26 etc..
hth (if that is in fact what caused the change)

I know exactly what you are saying Brenda because I am missing this
feature as well.
In one of Raul's mp3 tutorials on making the switch, the desktop
icons read out their index number as he arrows around the screen.
e.g. 15 of 26.
Has anyone been able to duplicate this and if so, how did you do it?
Thanks
Neville.

In Window-eyes the number of messages in a folder is read.
with Jaws is there a way to do this?
At least jaws reads how many unread messages in a folder, but I
could have lots and lots of messages in my inbox and have no way to
know it with jaws.
Also, with Jaws is there a way to find out "message 10 of 125" etc
to know where you are in the message list?
what are Window-Eyes migrants doingabout these issues?
Thanks for any help.
Brenda
