?My 2 cents here are, try then another program like windows life mail or
thunderbird. They are free and work very well with jaws. If you have the money
to spare, or are you planning an upgrade, then get outlook. But seriusly, this
windows mail thing is just to complicated. It requires to much work and time.
Time that you could be trying to learn a new e-mail program. Seriusly, this
ain't rocket science. Try something new. This a huge problem I find on the
blindness community in general. They want everything the way they first worked
with, or learn the thing. Guys, there is progress involved in everything and
things must change, for the good or the worse. Theyare other options outthere,
and some of them are even better. Just take the time to check them out. You may
be surprise to learn you like the new instead of the old.

David,
I'm still not clear about what is meant by "check boxes don't work." Is it
that the screen readers can't see them, or is it that their checked or
unchecked state can't be changed?
If I won't be able to create message rules in Windows Mail on my 64-bit Windows
7 system, that would be a show-stopper for me since I depend on these rules to
filter email from several lists into appropriate folders.

Hi Gary;
no, the problem is;
on windows7 64bit machines,
when one sets up windows mail;
the check boxes when creating message rules don't work.
otherwards, it's almost impossible to create message filters.
I've seen this behavior on a few machines now.

Hi Elf,
When you say that the screen readers are refusing to work with check boxes
in Windows Mail, do you mean that the screen readers can't detect them at all,
or is it that their state can't be changed? In the past, I've seen with
Outlook Express that sometimes JAWS didn't automatically read the state of the
check box in the Message Rules dialog, but the state could be determined with
the JAWS cursor and then changed with the Spacebar.

go to my grab bag website and there is a link for the windows mail in win
7 there, a note I recently found out, if you set this up on a 64 bit machine
setting mail rules in windows mail is nearly impossible to do, the check boxes
are refusing to work for most of the screen readers in this set up!

Good morning
When I go to
http://www.sendspace.com/file/jfjvxw
I get the following message:
Sorry, the file you requested is not available.
Possible reasons include:
- File date limit has expired.
- File was not successfully uploaded.
Please contact the uploader and ask them to upload the file again.
sendspace is not able to help you in this matter.
I have Windows 7 Home Premium and would very much like to use Windows
Mail.
Is there a new link with the files I would need?
Thanks
Marty

hmmm, ok, do you need the one to set it up on windows 7, or a general
tutorial on it's use? have sources on both but don't want to spew out more
links than needed.
and one fault in windows mail I just found out about today!
using it on a 64 bit system gives problems with making filters in it.
the check boxes are almost entirely inaccessible unfortunately.
