Hello there; first I would like to set the conversation correctly. the registry tweak only applies to, windows7, and windows mail, not, windows live mail. windows mail client is found on, windows vista machine. however, the windows mail email client is found on, windows7, however, one needs to perform a few registry tweaks in order for the winmail.exe to function properly. as I indicated in previous messages, winmail.exe, is very similar to OE, some of my client didn't like the MSoutlook, they wanted something easy, so, I setup the winmail.exe, on the windows7 machine, and all is well. just remember, WLM, is a part of, windows live essentials, something way different than windows mail. as for MSOutlook; I find the following setting work quite well. I should mention however, these settings would apply to MSOutlook 2007, as for the later 2010 I can't verify. 1, open MSOutlook; 2, alt+v for view. 3, down arrow until you hear; navigation pane sub-menu, right arrow to open it should be set on normal, the next setting is, alt+v,=view, down arrow until you hear; to-do-bar, sub-menu, right arrow to open, down arrow and enter on off. the next setting is; alt+v=view, now down arrow until you hear; reading pane sub-menu, right arrow to open, down arrow and enter on off. the next setting should be, alt+v=view, now down arrow until you hear; toolbars sub-menu, right arrow to open, the only item which should be checked is, standard. now one more, alt+v=view, down arrow and make sure that, status bar is checked. now when you perform a go to folder command, ctrl+y, and choose inbox for example, press enter; you will land into the message list view. as indicated in one of the messages, you can also use, f6key, which moves you from folder view to list view. hopefully, this will help some list members. ----- Original Message ----- From: Daniel McGee To: jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Tuesday, January 18, 2011 4:41 AM Subject: Re: [Bulk] RE: Outlook 2003: problem with outgoing mails Hi list, Daniel hear. Just wanted to say that I use windows Live mail the 2009 version. I am giving this info because if gary wants to try out windows live mail, 2009 is the most accessible with Jaws. the 2011 isn't at present. At least that's is in my case. The main thing I don't like about this email client and if anyone can confirm this then I would be truely appreciated because I have never used any of the other email clients is the fact that when one wants to look at a contact name meaning tabbing to it when you have opened a message you can't arrow left and right because when I do I just get the bong sound that windows vista makes. And also I don't know if its me but when I get email mailing list messages the way I start a new topic I would like to know about is that I open a message tab or shift tab to the to field hit the apps key and there should be something along of the word email go into that then hit enter on personal email. Well before doing any of this on the to field when I do a say all with jaws, I notice I get a llot of the following symboals such as greater than and less than are the common ones Also I have notice that jaws repeats the email address so you get somethinglike this. jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx<jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>; Is this also normall? Many thanks and Gary I hope you find your email client for your new windows 7 computer! Daniel From: Adrian Spratt Sent: Tuesday, January 18, 2011 6:04 AM To: jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: RE: [Bulk] RE: Outlook 2003: problem with outgoing mails Dave, As you'll remember, I switched from OE to Outlook last spring. You gave me very useful advice at the time. for me, adjusting from tabbing to pressing enter + F6 soon became a matter of habit. Actually, I substitute tab for F6 in this process, which made the transition even easier. Again for me, the process of creating alternative folders for receipt of certain kinds of messages is more intuitive in Outlook than in OE. I never used the control-j command in OE because I knew which folders I'd assigned for incoming messages, and they were few enough to check easily. What I do miss in Outlook is the control-u command to search for unread messages. Also, if I'm in a list of messages within a folder, insert-tab doesn't tell me the message number where focus is placed. Neither flaw is a deal-breaker for me, though I'd anticipated both would be. what motivated me to abandon OE was that the number of messages I'd saved was causing loss of some data. I haven't encountered that problem in Outlook. There's another big advantage with Outlook. With OE, you can save only one message at a time to a text file. with Outlook, you can save an entire folder, or some part of it, to a single text file. Again, I'm writing about Outlook 2003 and making the assumption that these points apply to later versions. A user not having a problem with OE shouldn't switch. But when the time comes that updating is required and OE isn't readily available, Outlook has most of OE's features, a few drawbacks and at least two major strengths--memory capacity and the ability to copy many messages in a single operation to a text file. Other listers would add at least one more feature: Outlook's accessible calendar. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: jfw-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:jfw-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Farfar Carlson Sent: Tuesday, January 18, 2011 12:18 AM To: jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: [Bulk] RE: Outlook 2003: problem with outgoing mails Adrian, I use Outlook 2007 at work for my corporate E-Mail and it is not able to work in the same way as OE. For example, in order to gain the list of messages from the folder list, you have to press the Enter key. Then to go back to the folders you use F6. Then again when you want to open the next folder, Enter again. Not as fundamental as just using the tab key back/forth. I find the process less useful, and in fact do not filter incoming messages to discrete folders, for that very reason. I don't know of an equivalent keystroke in Outlook 2007 to the Ctrl+j in OE, that allows me to jump to the next folder with an unread message. Very convenient, and I never miss anything that way. In Outlook 2007 I attend to all messages in the inbox and then file them in appropriate folders. Perhaps 2003 is not as pedantic as 2007?

I filter messages from each list into its appropriate folder and then start reading at the first unread message. If the message is worth saving, I move it to another folder for safe keeping; if not, I delete it, and the next message starts speaking automatically. I normally go all the way through the unread messages without returning to the message list, unless I need to move a message to a folder for saving. With the speech set as high as I can understand it, I can get through a lot of email in a hurry. It's also nice to see how many messages are being downloaded in a session, how many unread messages are in a folder and to be able to go to a folder with first-letter navigation, all of which I can do with Outlook Express. I hope that at least one of the email program possibilities will let me continue most of these practices.

Don't take my word for it. Mess around with it a bit. You will get the hang of it very fast. Now, one complain I have is that I can't use first letter navigation. A shame really. From: Gary King Sent: Monday, January 17, 2011 6:28 PM To: jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: Outlook 2003: problem with outgoing mails David, Following your instructions, I found Windows Mail on my Windows 7 Home Premium system. Before going to the trouble of trying to get it to work, however, I would like to know how well it works with JFW 12. I don't see it in the Supported Programs list. I do see Windows Live Mail listed, but don't really know how well it works either. I know that there are third-party scripts for Thunderbird, but haven't heard many comments about them on this list. While I am deciding which email program to try on Windows 7, I am still using my old faithful Outlook Express on my XP system. Any comments on the email programs I've mentioned are welcome. I am using JFW 12 Build 522.

I have configured my Gmail account exactly as stated in Gmail help. I receive the incoming mails, but I can not send anything, without any kind of error message! Any suggestions? (I have imported the settings from OE, and then modified it to the ones in gmail help.) I really prefer to use OE, but I am switching to windows 7 soon. So I am looking for a well accessible counterpart for OE. Can OE be installed on windows 7, instead of windows mail? Any suggestions/comments is greatly appreciated. Cheers! Hamid Yadiel J.
