ok firstly this is what others have told me, and I gather that it is that the 
boxes refuse to respond/change to the appropriate keystroke

one of the  main people that told me this is a reliable and detailed help 
person on another list I am on

  Hi Elf,
  When you say that the screen readers are refusing to work with check boxes in 
Windows Mail, do you mean that the screen readers can't detect them at all, or 
is it that their state can't be changed?  In the past, I've seen with Outlook 
Express that sometimes JAWS didn't automatically read the state of the check 
box in the Message Rules dialog, but the state could be determined with the 
JAWS cursor and then changed with the Spacebar.

    go to my grab bag website and there is a link for the windows mail in win 7 
there, a note I recently found out, if you set this up on a 64 bit machine 
setting mail rules in windows mail is nearly impossible to do, the check boxes 
are refusing to work for most of the screen readers in this set up!

    HTH,

      Good morning 

      When I go to
      http://www.sendspace.com/file/jfjvxw

      I get the following message:  
      Sorry, the file you requested is not available.
      Possible reasons include: 

      - File date limit has expired. 
      - File was not successfully uploaded. 

      Please contact the uploader and ask them to upload the file again. 
sendspace is not able to help you in this matter. 

      I have Windows 7 Home Premium and would very much like to use Windows 
Mail. 

      Is there a new link with the files I would need? 

      Thanks 

      Marty

        hmmm, ok, do you need the one to set it up on windows 7, or a general 
tutorial on it's use? have sources on both but don't want to spew out more 
links than needed. 

        and one fault in windows mail I just found out about today!

        using it on a 64 bit system gives problems with making filters in it. 
the check boxes are almost entirely inaccessible unfortunately.
