It was just a question.
It mattered to me at the time.
It was impressive and helpful like I stated.

Does it matter? The point is the information is relevant to the conversation
at hand.

Subject: [JAWS-Users] E-Mail Terminology
There seems to be a lot of confusion concerning e-mail terminology , so
perhaps the following will help.
Depending on the situation, using the correct terminology can be the
difference between a lot of talk, and an actual solution to your problem.
E-mail Client:
A program that allows you to download and manage messages from an e-mail
server.
An e-mail client is typically installed on your PC.
Here are some of the most widely used e-mail clients:
Microsoft Outlook Express (also referred to as OE) Microsoft Outlook (most
generally referred to as Outlook) Windows Mail (also referred to as WM)
Windows Live Mail (also referred to as WLM) Mozilla Thunderbird (generally
referred to as Thunderbird) Eudora
There are clients in this list that are similar in name, but are entirely
different, and it is important not to confuse them, for example, Outlook,
and Outlook Express are both Microsoft products, but are not the same
Likewise, Windows Mail, and Windows Live Mail, are again, both Microsoft
products, but are not the same, so it is important when asking for help, to
make sure which client you are using, because keyboard commands and
navigation will vary.
Note:
While on the topic of e-mail clients, this is very important to remember:
The last supported version of Outlook Express was 6.0, which came installed
on Windows XP systems.
The last supported version of Windows Mail came installed on Windows Vista
systems.
Although registry tweaks etc, have made it possible to use these clients on
more recent versions of Windows, it must be understood that Microsoft does
not support the modified versions with any type of tech support, or security
updates.
You use them at your own risk!
E-mail Server:
Typically, the program and associated hardware that your ISP (Internet
Service Provider), uses to manage e-mail for their customers.
Your ISP is the company that provides your internet service, such as A T&T,
Time-Warner Cable ( also referred to as TWC),Verizon etc.
Identities:
These are found in Outlook Express, and by other names in some other
clients, such as Personalities in Eudora.
You can have multiple Identities in Outlook Express, and each Identity can
contain multiple accounts.
Accounts:
These are simply your e-mail settings from whatever provider you are using
for e-mail, such as Hotmail, GMail or your ISP etc.
Atypical account is your e-mail address and it's associated settings.
You can have multiple accounts in most e-mail clients, which simply means
that you would use 1 client to receive e-mail coming to multiple addresses.
Here is an example of multiple Identities and multiple accounts in Outlook
Express, as I have them setup on one of my machines.
I have an Identity which I have named "Jaws-Users", and one named "Rick".
Within the Jaws-users Identity, I have 2 accounts, , 1 for each e-mail
address, that I have for list management reasons.
In the "Rick" Identity, I have only 1 account, which is my personal e-mail
address.
I use this method for sorting purposes, and it is strictly a personal
preference.
More terminology and definitions can be found at:

The terms on this site, were made available thru the courtesy of David
Ferrin I would encourage people to familiarize themselves with the Help
topics that come with most programs, as well as the Jaws Help topics.
You really can learn a lot of useful information by doing some reading, and
asking questions.
HTH,
Rick Justice
