[gui-talk] Best e-mail programme to use with Windows ten

[Ben Fulton]

Hi Heather,

I use outlook, and I would say if you already have outlook to go with that.
It is part of the office 360 package, which is how I got it. I also have
thunderbird and find it easier for managing groups, but if you are learning
I would recommend going with outlook. Also, thunderbird keeps giving me
messages asking for donations and saying they need the money because they
are no longer being supported by whoever was supporting them before. I feel
this could be a sign that the software upgrades may be discontinued in the
near future. That is when I made the switch over to outlook. Lastly, if you
were following the thread on searching in outlook you may have realized that
it can be a difficult process, and as for my two cents, I found the search
function in thunderbird to be much easier to use.
 
Hope this helps,
Ben

Hello friends, 

I am finally making the switch to using Windows 10.
Unfortunately, I?m also having to make the switch to using JAWS at the same
time, since Window-eyes is no longer a viable long-term option.

So, I?m looking for your thoughts on which e-mail programme will be the best
option for me using JAWS and Windows ten.

I know I can use the Office 360 service and access all e-mails off line.
Is that the simplest answer?

I?m wondering if using Thunderbird might be an easier option. I did use it
at one stage a couple of years ago but it had problems and wasn?t completely
accessible, as I remember.
What do folks think about using Thunderbird?

Alternatively, I could use outlook, which is accessible but has lots of
extra options that I don?t use.

In addition to the choice of an e-mail programme, JAWS users may have some
info for me regarding how well JAWS works with particular programmes, which
may influence my choice of e-mail programme.

I will be so grateful if you would take a few minutes and e-mail me your
thoughts, opinions experiences etc. regarding my questions and your answers
and advice.

This is always a daunting experience when new programmes need to be chosen
and learnt, so support from my NFB family is what I need..
Thank you everyone in advance for your kind assistance.

Warmly,
Heather
