I don't have the latter problem but the main issue seems to be that I hear
fleetingly an email address other than what I need, and then the scrolling
of matches in the search stops and I have no idea at all which email has
been sent to the to field as that field is normally unreadable apart from a
few garbled characters and the semicolon.
To do a forward of a message is almost impossible with live mail due to
this. For example you may type a few chars of the name or email and when you
shift tab away and back the list presented often does not seem to have the
email in it that you need, even though a list of the contacts quite plainly
contains it, and a brand new email can be sent to it, but it seems the
context menu is missing from the search display of the contacts, and no
matter what I do I seemingly cannot get that to work to the right address.
Indeed, even opening that contact and attempting to cut the email address
results in nothing being grabbed to the clipboard
I The version 14 is I understand a bit less quirky than 12, but the
installer will not run on windows 7, and the version 16 has the ribbons so
out of the frying pan etc.

Hello Brian,
I think we have similar problems with the contacts list, mine has been
imported twice, first from Windows 98 to XP and then to Windows seven.
Although my details are in the correct fields they are mostly out of date,
I too need an update session.
I don't find there is any time out when typing in names, however, I think it
is a good idea to only type a couple of letters and then tab to another
field followed by shift tabbing back so that NVDA can read it, it doesn't
seem to read out the prediction as you type.
The other problem I have is that, once I have the contacts list on the
screen using the shortcut key, I can't get rid of it without closing Live
mail.
Perhaps more knowledgable people on the list will have more answers.
Best Regards, Jim.

Yes that is so, but for some reason I often find that I've also
inadvertantly sent it to some other email address as well. Do you know if
there is a timeout for the suggestions that selects one before the one you
are after?
My problem I think is that the whole contacts list is imported from Outlook
Express and hence is a bit of a muddle, with emails in first name slots and
all sorts. The thought of going through the huge list and trying to fix this
is a bit daunting.

Hello Brian,
I think you may have an older version of Live mail, mine has ribbons.
the method that Maartina suggested works though. I agree it's not very
blind friendly when it comes to choosing contacts fromthe the list to
send as e mail if you get to the list using a new message, however,
using Martina's method the contacts can be right clicked with the
context menu key and there is an option in here to send e mail.
Best Regards, Jim.

Can you not just select the contacts from the tools menu and then the
context menu works, well it seems to here.
Although I have followed the methods of actually entering emails to a
forward, I never see this list nor have I ever managed to get it to
not select at least one eemail I don't want along with the ones I do.
It is obviously designed for the sighted very much like google instant is.

Hello all,dialogue.
Can anyone enlighten me as to how I delete a contact in Windows live
mail using NVDA?
I can get to the contacts list by creating a new message and then
choosing "select contacts", if I then focus on a contact and use alt
and E, I can edit the contacts, but there is no delete or remove
option. I can't get a context menu, [right click], anywhere in the
With sighted help I know that the contacts item is at the bottom left
of the screen under the list of folders, but it needs a mouse to get
into this, after that a delete option is possible.
If anyone knows a shortcut to get to this contacts box or knows how
to delete a contact, I would be most grateful for any advice.
Best Regards, Jim.
