Hi Gary,
I think the problem with the message rules is only within 64-bit machines. Mine
is 32-bit, and I could create my message rules the same as OE without a hitch.
The issue of the automatic focus switch is a matter of personal taste; I think
it's not avoidable. Now I usually use ctrl + j and ctrl + u (just the same as
OE) for moving around the folders containing unread messages.
It is mostly like a name change to windows mail. Jaws (11) sometimes mistakenly
call it Outlook Express!
One improvement that I was expecting over OE is the addition of the language
feature to its editor, I.e. when I change the keybord layout language, there
should be a tag which lets Jaws reads the messages with its true language.
Anyway this is also similar as OE.
To sum up, no problem so far.
Cheers
Hamid

Hamid,
At some point, I will probably try the Windows Mail configuration on my
Windows 7 system. I hope you find a way to solve the focus change problem.
Have you found any other problems with Windows Mail on your Windows 7 system?
It has been stated on this list that message rules creation can't be done
because of problems with the check boxes in the rules creation dialog. Have
you tried to create message rules in Windows Mail?

Hi all,
I have windows 7 installed on my computer and managed to configure windows
mail as the default email client using the tutorial here as provided by David:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/14125880/Ryan%27s%20Windows%20Mail%20Tweak%20tutorial.zip
So far so good! This might be useful for folks avoiding upgrade to 7
because of the email client issue.
One difference to OE: when navigating in the folder view pane, for each
folder that receives focus, if that contains any message, the focus switches
automatically to the message list of the folder. Any suggestions on how to
disable this feature or maybe tame it down for better utilization?
Cheers
Hamid
