I have the same difficulty. I did notice that when you want to move an email
to a folder, hit control Shift V then arrows down to the folder you want.
And Boy do I miss the auto complete of names. I'm not sure how to get rid
of this problem. As it stands now, when I want to send an email, I hit
control N, for new message,
Then, shift tab to the too button, and hit enter. Then, I have to arrow to
the contact I want, hit space bar, and tab to the too button, and then, to
OK and after that, I can then send the email. There's got to be a better
way. frown. I don't like WLM at all.

Subject: [Blind-Computing] More Windows Live Mail questions and observations
First, I am having two main problems with Windows Live Mail. . As far as I
can tell there is no first letter navigation of folders. For example I
save many emails in folders for future reference. Previously to move
emails to specific folders in OE I could just use control shift V and then
choose a folder from the list by first letter navigation which was very
quick. Now, on my new Windows 7 64 bit laptop running Jaws 11 and
Windows Live Mail there is no first letter navigation of the folder list.
You have to tab several times and then find the folder with the tree list
which is very tedious. I don't think it even remembers the last folder you
sent an email to so it is the tree view every time. And I have not
discovered how to have the auto complete work when adding the contacts
sending email.
It is confusing in that it seems to put each separate account into its own
folder list with its own Inbox, Sent mail, etc. Sure would love a
tutorial on exactly how it is set up.
And it is very, very sluggish when moving through a list. I thought
Windows 7 64 bit was supposed to be faster...but faster than what? It is
much slower than my Dell XP laptop. I may end up giving my husband the
new Acer except then I would have purchased Windows 11 ($240) for nothing
since Jaws 9 works great on my Dell..
There are some good points about WLM, however.
I was able to import my messages from OE. I just copied the message
storage file to the Windows 7 laptop and was able to navigate to that
folder when importing. It did put them in a separate list but at least
they are there.
Secondly it is set up very much like OE. The message rules work the same
way as in OE as does the "find message command.
When setting up accounts it was much easier. To add my Gmail I just had to
put in the address and password. Then I did not check to set it up
manually and it automatically configured it. It adds a folder called Gmail
and one for my other email and in these folders you can see the email that
is stored online before it is downloaded.
It seems to sync the mail so I think I am able to download the same mail
to both laptops.
Anyway, does anyone know about first letter navigation of folder lists?
I surely think this is a really important feature that is very necessary.
Any advice appreciated.
