I may have a suggestion some others may find useful.
My JAWS 11 is running with the latest of updates.
I have about 4 or 5 email accounts I am using with Windows Live Mail. I have been using the calenar and the contacts. While there are issues, and the program does sometimes take a moment to bring up messages, I have learned to wait a bit, and it is better.

As to JAWS speaking if the message is read or unread, mine does not say anything as to that. But here is what I have been doing from time to time. Under the View Menu, you can find the first in the drop down menu called Show or Hide. Right arrow there to open the sub menu. And there is an option for Hide Read Messages. The default is Show All Messages.. I will hit enter on that, and then I have all my unread messages there to go through, rather than having to wallow through ones I have already read but chosen not to delete. After I am finished I go back to View Menu, and put it back to the default setting to Show All Messages.

Hope that is useful to someone.

Thanks, and hope you are all having a great 4th of July. For me it is a beautiful day and the MLB is my sanctuary and one cause to celebrate.
Rik

As windows live mail has graphics to show when a message is unread or there are more messages in a conversation I used the graphics labeller to label them and now JAWS does tell me when a message is unread etc. Not sure why FS couldn't do that since it only takes two minutes. That said not sure I can put the instructions in an email sorry. I will try and hoepfully send it later.

I agree. It has improved after the last updates but it still works badly compared to outlook express. However, I use it myself and hope that it wil improve bit by bit. Sometimes you have to use the jaws cursor to open attached files if you don't want to save them first.

It is a bit funky with even the latest JAWS 11 I believe. I use Thunderbird myself, so am not sure. So I am going by what people have reported.

Hi all,

I wonder what are your experiences in using Windows Live Mail with JAWS? Earlier I used Outlook Express and I was happy with it, but then I received E-mail sent by Hotmail, saying that it would no longer be possible to use it, so I switched to Windows Live Mail. One of the differences with the latter, for instance, is that Windows Live Mail does not say "unread".

Have a nice day,
Gezim
