I Ment Windows Live Mail. Windows Mail is similar to Outlook Express and
comes with Windows Vista. I found that Windows Live Mail doesn't work as
well with Jaws as Outlook Express or Windows Mail, at least back in December
of 2009 with the latest bill of Jaws 11 available at that time. I remember
that I contacted FS tech support and they indicated that there were some
features of WLM that didn't work properly with Jaws. I don't know if this is
still true with the latest bill of Jaws 11 or with the lates public beta of
Jaws 12. At any rate, Jaws works very well with MS Outlook 2007 and 2010. At
least this has been my own experience.

It is important to point out that Windows Mail and Windows Live Mail are
different. I have been using Windows Live Mail with JAWS for about two years
now and apart from a short period when there were problems with JAWS I have
had no trouble with it. I can also say that Windows Live Mail works well
with NVDA, another free screenreader. I haven't used Thunder myself, but am
led to believe that NVDA is the better free option.
