You might find the below helpful - I've had it for some time but I think it's still relevant.

Good luck.

Hello all,

I am trying to learn the mail program included in windows 10.

Are there any tutorials available to help JAWS users use this program?  I am having trouble using this program on my own.

Thanks,

Jerry Howell
