I'm granting myself an exception to the NVDA-only rule simply because so many among our membership do use the Windows 10/11 Mail App, and the transition to Outlook for Windows in January will hit each and every one of them. Outlook for Windows is not, repeat, not, strictly inaccessible, but the way in which things are accessed does not follow the paradigm that Microsoft has used for accessing the ribbons for as long as the ribbon interface has existed. You can change the simplified ribbons (default) back to the classic ribbons, but neither is accessed in the way all of us here are accustomed to. I have put the following feedback in to Microsoft via the feedback hub: *Outlook for Windows Preview - Main Menus (Home, View, Help) are inaccessible for screen reader users via keyboard* <https://aka.ms/AAnmlzg> I strongly suggest that anyone who is currently using the Windows Mail App take a look at that feedback, upvote it at the very least, and preferably upvote and add your own comments. This is how attention gets drawn to fixes that need to be made, and these need to be made quickly or else all hell will break loose (and justifiably so) when who knows how many Windows Mail app users wake up one January morning to Outlook for Windows that's not accessible using the same techniques all Microsoft programs have been using literally for decades now.
