Scott and others,

I think the way Outlook reports the number of unread messages has
changed for Outlook 2003, but not for Outlook Express. 

In previous versions of Outlook the status line included the total
number of messages in the folder followed by the number of unread
messages. The keystroke JawsKey + PageDown reads the bottom line of the
window, which in most cases is the status line, and therefore any
version of JAWS would get both bits of information.

In Outlook 2003 the status line only contains the total number of
messages in the folder, and so the keystroke Jawskey + PageDown will
only read that information. The number of unread messages is given in
the folder list, which you can get to from the list of messages by
pressing Tab or F6. On my system the number of unread messages is
sometimes read out straight away, but sometimes it isn't.  In the latter
case I can press JawsKey + UpArrow to get the information. A second Tab
or F6 will return focus to the message list.

Hope this helps,

Steve Griffiths

Subject: more outlook problems was re: sadly outlook has something
missing

Hello List,
In outlook 2003, I went into the options menu as suggested to see if I
could get it to read the number of messages followed by the unread as
before with insert page down.  I unchecked the option in the reading
pane that was to mark as unread after selecting, and it didn't change
it.  I read in an earlier message of the archive that it doesn't appear
that the option is available in outlook 2003.  Since I'm new to outlook,
would this then be correct?  It would certainly be different from
outlook express handling.
This is using JFW 6.0 right now on the laptop.  I haven't moved to 6.10
on this system yet.  Thanks for any suggestions.

 

Scott Van Gorp
