Okay, Dave, in the message I just sent, I misinterpreted the message of
yours I was replying to, or I find it clearer here. Like Cy, I would like to
know where I am in a message list. It's along the lines that Mark described,
except that I can't bring myself to delete messages wholesale. When I'm
catching up on a day's or a week's JAWS list traffic, for example, I'd like
to know periodically how far I've made it down the message morass. Consider
it the equivalent of a downloading file's progress bar.

Mark,
Yes, I understand your question, but not the one from Cy. You want to know
how many are in the folder, and how many are unread -- so do I.
However Cy has introduced a side topic on this thread as to how to set JAWS
to announce the relative position in the list of messages that the
highlighted message occupies. Similar to a list in MS Explorer, where you
can usually hear filename.txt 24 of 128. This tells me that there are 128
files in the folder and that I'm looking at the 24th file.
This is easy in Outlook Express, but I haven't figured out how to do it in
Outlook 2007. Perhaps it's in the verbosity settings somewhere?

I like to know the amount of messages in a folder for time saving reasons.
Some email list can have hundreds of messages. If I am pushed for time and
there seem to be many one liners, a control A followed by delete saves a lot
of time and frustration.
Following the same reason as above if it states I only have 10 messages to
go, I will read them as it should not take a lot of time.
OR I could just be a control freak!

Cy,
I'm just curious as to why you need to know the xxx of yyy information in
the folder view. Since I use first-letter navigation to find folders,I've
never wanted to know where in the overall list a particular folder resides.
Am I missing a particular "neat trick" that helps us by knowing that
information?

Adrian,
On my HP, W7 64 bit, JAWS 11, Office 2007 the insert+numpad 3 gives me the
number of messages in the folder.
I really do wish I could find "where" in the folder I am such as 135 of 402.
Insert+tab only gives me what insert+ up arrow does, no numbers.

Two thoughts for how to obtain this information.
First, I just tried this on Outlook 2003 and it worked. While at the message
list in a folder, switch to the JAWS cursor and go to the bottom line. Here
the number of messages is read.
2. This doesn't work on my machine, but since insert-3 has stopped working
on yours, maybe the change makes this one work instead. Insert-tab ought to
tell you not only the number of messages in a folder, but also where you're
positioned on that list. I wish this worked here.

Running Jaws 12 with outlook 2007.
I use to hit insert numpad 3 to hear amount of messages in the folder I was
in.
Now it does not work.
All I changed was the scheme. It has been changed back, but insert does not
work.
Any helpful suggestions?
