My account is older, also. I don't pay anything, just my monthly payment to
Qwest. I think I will give them a call. I don't if they even know what a
screen reader is.

Katherine,
I haven't received any message from MSN saying that all Hotmail accounts had
to upgrade to the new Hotmail Live, but every so often, Hotmail tries to push
me into switching to the live version when I am logging in.
I briefly tried the new version, and found it inaccessible with JFW 7.0. I
even tried the "classic" version of Hotmail Live, and it was just as bad.
There may be an accessibility setting in the Hotmail Live options that would
make it more screen-reader friendly, but I haven't looked. Fortunately for me,
I have an older Hotmail account that was grandfathered in when MSN began
charging a fee for POP access through Outlook Express, but if I ever need to
access Hotmail from another computer using the browser, the Hotmail Live
version will be a problem.
How about it, fellow list members, any of you figure out how to make using
Hotmail Live via the browser JAWS friendly?

mail accounts or know if Jaws will work with the upgrades? I am still using
6.2.
