Hi Hamid, As an alternative to using the folder pane to change to the folder, you can use the Go to folder dialog, where there isn't the focus switch problem. You can open this dialog on the view menu, and it has the shortcut ctrl+y. There's a Jaws guide to Windows mail, and this issue is covered in the folder list section of the guide. The guide is available at: http://bit.ly/9b1QZX David. orginal message: Hi all, I have windows 7 installed on my computer and managed to configure windows mail as the default email client using the tutorial here as provided by David: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/14125880/Ryan%27s%20Windows%20Mail%20Tweak%20tutorial.zip So far so good! This might be useful for folks avoiding upgrade to 7 because of the email client issue. One difference to OE: when navigating in the folder view pane, for each folder that receives focus, if that contains any message, the focus switches automatically to the message list of the folder. Any suggestions on how to disable this feature or maybe tame it down for better utilization?
