Hi Mo, I've tried Thunderbird in the past but for some reason didn’t like it.
But yes, please send me the adapted version and I'll have another go you never
know. A quick search showed that Thunderbird works with MSN, Hotmail and Gmail.
Is this true? MSN and Hotmail support is essential to me. Many thanks for your
kind help.

Hi amro.
A lot of people are switching to thunderbird when using windows 10. Its
totally free and actively maintained. You will need to customize it for
accessibility slightly, but there aren't a lot of settings to customise. As for
windows live mail, if you do not use outlook.com as your email provider it will
continue to work. Personally I prefer gmail to outlook in terms of web
accessibility and reliability. Let me know if you decide to go down the
thunderbird root and I would be happy to either send you a version with
accessibility taken care of or instruct you.
Cheers,
Mo.

Hi people,
Windows 10 with JAWS 17. I'm totally confused and wonder if someone would
be so kind to answer the following please.
1. What are all the accessible options to use as email clients with Windows
10? If someone could list all the email clients I can use with their exact
names so I can go and read up on them that would be great.
2. Currently when I press my keyboard's email hotkey what comes up is
"Windows Live Mail Version 15.4.3502.0922". I believe this is the same Windows
Live Mail 2012 I was using before recently upgrading from Windows 7, right?
Hence, the below warning I got from Microsoft a couple of months ago still
applies to it, is this correct?
"It appears that you are currently using Windows Live Mail 2012 to connect
to your Outlook.com account. Windows Live Mail 2012 does not support the
synchronization technologies used by the new Outlookook.com. When account
upgrades begin at the end of June, you will no longer be able to receive email
sent to your Outlook.com account in Windows Live Mail 2012."
Many thanks for any help.
Amro
