Pete, I'm with bt, but I've never tried to use webmail so can't answer any of 
your questions.
Cheers

Subject: [jaws-uk] BT Webmail

Hi list,
I know that many people on this list are with BT, so my question is, do you use 
their webmail, is it the "new" version as opposed to classic, and if so, how do 
you manage to navigate within folders such as inbox and spam?

I still have my own accounts set to classic mail, but it seems that some people 
are now receiving an upgrade page when they log in to their mail page, and it 
doesn't have the option to use classic, only an upgrade button, and if they 
click that option they find that they are unable to navigate the folders, and 
there seems no way of returning to the classic version.

A friend who has this issue gave me her password and asked if I could sort it 
out, but I could see no way of returning to classic, I tried with JAWS and two 
other screen readers, and with both IE and Firefox, JAWS kept announcing that 
application mode was on, what is this mode, how does one turn it off, and would 
doing this help to read the folders?

Any help greatly appreciated.

Pete H.
