I would go to Tools and Options and go through the various Tabs and the
options too.

Hello Vince.
I take your point but I was using NVDA with OE on the last PC and it
worked
fine.
It may be something funky with the columns in the list view. I will try
tweaking the view and see if it solves the problem but I suspect it won't.

Michael, I believe that it's hard for screen readers to tell accurately
whether a mail is read or unread. NVDA hasn't got the video interception
setup that JAWS has, so it may just be one of life's annoyances for the
time being.
While you're in a list of messages, you can use insert plus B for Bravo
to
read the status line, which can tell you how many read and unread mails
there are.
Vince.

Subject: [access-uk] Strange Problem with Outlook Express
Hello list.
This isn't strictly an accessibility issue but I am hoping there is
someone here who can help.
I recently had a PC failure and have started using another Windows XP
machine.
I have set up Outlook Express and it works fine except mails never get
marked as read. It is set to mark mails as read after 5 seconds but
this
never happens. NVDA always says 'unread' when I highlight a message.
In the context menu the 'mark as read' option is greyed out but when I
select view and select 'hide read messages' they all disappear.
Any ideas?
