Hi Mo, I've tried Thunderbird in the past but for some reason didnâEUR^(TM)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 <http://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
OutlookâEUR?ook.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
