I use thunderbird and I am pretty satisfied with it. It works just as
well with Windows 10 as it did with Windows 7. Back when I switched from
Windows XP to Windows 7 I started using Windows Live mail. There had
already been some discussion that I was reading about that program being
unstable, but when I started using it I saw just how unstable it really
was. It started crashing on me and I had a devil of a time getting it
running again and then once it crashed and I couldn't get it to work at
all. At that time I was subscribed to the JAWS list and I sought help
there. It was kind of off topic, so someone started trying to help me
privately. He couldn't figure it out either and so he finally just sent
me a link to download Thunderbird. It took a couple of days to learn it
and get used to it, but I haven't had a major problem with it since. Now
and then it does get an update and for a little while I think it is
broken, but then I figure out what the change was and I am back to it
working smoothly. What you have to remember about Thunderbird is that
most of everything you do wit it is in a tree view and the rest of it
can be reached by tabbing. When you open the software you have to tab
about three times to get to the tree view and then you do most
everything else by using the arrow keys. If you keep tabbing you come to
settings and configuration, but most of what you need to do to get it
configured the way you want it can be done from the menus that you get
to by pressing the alt key.

Richard,
I don't think it needs a new password. I think that there's just some bizarre
problem, that Outlook is apparently not as compatible with Optimum and Windows
10 as it was with Windows 7. I went back into my Optimum account this evening
after feeling completely frustrated. I just wandered around it, not doing a
thing. Then after I got out of it, a whole lot of emails downloaded. If I
weren't so inept at this stuff, I'd install the Thunderbird email program. But
I don't even understand what the 3 pieces of information are that I need to
start installing it, let alone, learning how to use it with Jaws.

I can't explain it, but the email program is still periodically
