As Robing and Don pointed out, you can press Alt-1 in an Outlook email message and Window-Eyes will announce the person or email address in the from field of the message. I wanted to add that if you press this command a second time, Window-Eyes will move your focus to the from field. Once your focus is in the from field, you can read the information using standard cursor keys. This should make it much easier to read the email address at your own pace. You can also open the context menu to access a few options including the option to copy the email address to the clipboard. Keep in mind that if you copy the email address in the from field, you will often get extra data that Outlook has added such as the person's name. Regarding Alt-Shift-V not toggling message virtualization on and off, this hot key is made available through the Outlook Enhance app. So, I would recommend you check to make sure you have the latest and greatest version of Outlook Enhance since this hot key was added in a recent update.
Regards, Marc Subject: RE: a question re outlook From: "Van Lant, Robin" <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> Date: Wed, 17 Dec 2014 20:25:10 +0000 Don, When I hit Alt 1, it does read the email address if one shows. If the person is already in your contacts, Outlook seems to know and not display the email. WE reads it so fast though, that I wouldn't be able to catch it to write it elsewhere. I don't know of another hotkey, but I have sometimes done a Control R to open a reply message, then copied the address from the To line to add to contacts, then escaped out. I also tend not to use Virtualization of messages on my work Outlook, which means that I can then shift tab to the To field and either copy the address there or use the application key to create a new contact. I've seen mention of using Alt Shift V to toggle virtualization on and off, but that key combo does nothing for me. Maybe it's a WE 9 beta key combo and I'm still on WE 8.4 here at work.

I know that alt 1 tells you from Alt 2 tells you sent Alt 3 tells you to. Now I think there is a hotkey, that reads the from field , and is supposed to read the email address connected to that person, so if it is needed you are supposed to be able to high lite it , to then paste it in the to field in future if you want to email it later. Do you know what it is, I thought it was to press the alt 1 key again, but that doesn't work.
