Yes, it works without scripts and I've been using Thunderbird for
months, but I find it clunkier than OE. For example, if memory serves,
with OE there were far fewer keystrokes needed to move a message from
one folder to another. The competition has an app that allowed for
first letter navigation in the folder list and some other time-saving
features, but they no longer work here with the last couple of releases
of Thunderbird and the new version of WE.
If you've been able to find text in an open Thunderbird message using
JAWS, would you please share the secret?
Thunderbird support page at:
https://support.mozillamessaging.com/en-US/kb/keyboard-shortcuts-searching?s=finding+text&as=s
says:
Version 8 and later
As of Thunderbird version 8, the following keystrokes are assigned to
search functions:
• Search All Messages (Global Search): Ctrl + K
• Quick Filter Bar (filter messages in current view): Ctrl + Shift + K
• Search for messages in a folder (search dialog): Ctrl + Shift + F
• Find text in current message: Ctrl + F
• Find again in current message: Ctrl + G or F3
• Find previous in current message: Ctrl + Shift + G or Shift + F3
I can perform global searches and search within a folder, but finding
text in a message is still defying me. It will go to the end of the
text, but I can't get JAWS to read it with the current line or to go
forward or back or do anything with it. I wrote to FS ages ago and the
tech support person who answered either didn't know or said it couldn't
be done.
Thunderbird works better for my needs than when I tried WLM and Outlook
2010 months ago and I'm probably just missing something simple that
would make it work even better for me and I welcome new tricks to be
able to make peace with it.

Good Afternoon:
Does anyone know where scripts for JAWS 14 and 15 for Thunderbird can
be found?
I'd dearly love capability for first letter navigation in the folder
list; quickly moving to the In-box from within the message list in
another folder; being able to find text in an open Thunderbird
message. One is supposed to be able to use Control1 to move quickly to
the in-box, but the instructions on the Thunderbird support page have
defied me so far. I'm currently running Thunderbird 24.1.1 on 64 bit
Windows Home Premium.
I looked at the web site mentioned in the following old post and found
very little about anything after Windows 98 and I think the most
recent mention of JAWS was for something like 3.2 and am doubtful if
the script mentioned would be anywhere current enough.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Donnie and list,
You can get thunderbird scripts from:
http://EmpowermentZone.com/tb_scr30.zip
To make sure you are using the latest update, Install them and while in
thunderbird, press f11 key. The scripts will check, and if there is any
update, you'll be prompted to download and install it...
Hope that helps
