Hi Mike, I know changing email addresses nowadays can be a big deal, but I think getting an email address from Outlook, Google, Apple or Yahoo (not a big fan of Yahoo as they seem to have lots of security issues) is the way to go compared to have an email address from your provider. For one thing if you ever change your internet service provider you’ll get a new email anyways so taking that step and get yourself an Outlook.com email address is I think a good idea as you’ll have that for the rest of your life. Also, there is no pressure since you can of course set up both email addresses in Outlook, then first start by putting all the contacts you have in your original account into Outlook. Yes, I would start by using Outlook (the app not the service), after you get your Outlook.com email address just set it up as a new account. It should be easy if you use Office 2013 or 2016 since they have built-in support for this and all you have to enter is your email address and password, there is no need to put in incoming and outgoing server addresses and al that as Outlook will automatically configure that. Once you have that done, also set up the Outlook.com email on your iPhone, make sure you pick “Outlook.com” or whatever it’s called as the account type on the first scren after you double tap on “Add account”. Then again just enter your email and password and, if you like, you can give the account a name or you can leave it as is. Once that is done just see if everything works by going into your old account on Outlook on the computer, go to the contacts and use the Control+Shift+V command to “Move” a contact. Pick the Contacts folder under your new outlook account and press enter. Then wait a minute or two and check your iPhone to see if that contact is there. If you already have it manually entered on your iPhone, you could maybe create a new contact in Outlook on your computer and check that, if it syncs and it appears on your iPhone you can do it the other way around just to make sure, create a contact (you can just make one up called “Test-iPhone”) and see if it appears in Contacts on your computer. You can also send a test email, if you send one on the computer that email should also be in the Sent Items folder on your iPhone. If you receive an email and read it on the iPhone it should also get marked as read on the PC and if you reply on either device it should indicate that on the other device. Yes, Calendar should also sync, when you set up the account on the iPhone it asks as a last step what you want to sync and it gives you a list you have to make sure is selected like Mail, Contacts, Calendar, Reminders, Notes etc.
Good luck, let me know if you have other questions.

Often when I’m at my desk and I want to add a contact I do it via Outlook on my computer and usually the contact is available on my iPhone 10 or 20 seconds later. Same goes the other way around, if I’m out and about and I add somebody as a contact on my phone, they are in my contact list in Outlook by the time I get back. Of course Outlook.com is not alone here, you should be able to do the same with gmail which uses IMAP and, for that matter, on anyother service that uses IMAP.

Getting things to sync won’t be the problem because if I can’t do it with Jaws my sighted wife will set things up.

Apple computers are a breeze to sync with an IPhone. But with a PC, it’s a royal PITA and a half. I’m still trying to figure out how to sync my Lenovo laptop’s Outlook contacts, into my 5S.
