Allen: You are correct.
Control shift tab also gets us to the Outlook folder list, so this is another workaround, in addition to control Y, and shift F6. It's good to have these possibilities, for sure. I haven't discovered anything else broken in Outlook 2016, but time will tell, I guess. At least Jaws tech support and Microsoft are aware of the shift-tab issue.

You might try it and see what happens.

I'll add your suggestions to my list of workarounds for the problem. And, I'll keep everyone posted if I learn more. I'm told that someone from Jaws Technical Support may be contacting me, since this issue is now in escalated status, so will see how things play out over the next few days. Microsoft Tech Support has also now recognized this as what they call an "emerging issue".

After speaking with Microsoft tech support earlier today, the temporary fix is to use Control+Shift+Tab to get to the folder list and Control+Tab to get back to the message list if you do not move to Control+another email folder. If you use Control+Shift+Tab to move to the folder list and then use your arrow keys or first letter to move to another folder, using Enter or the Spacebar will still work to get into the folder; Control+Tab is only used if you use Control+Shift+Tab but do not move to a different folder than the one just exited. I hope this makes sense and hope there will be a quick fix. Thanks for the info regarding how this problem is a known issue.

I just got off the phone with Jaws technical support, and, apparently, I'm not the only one experiencing the problem with the folder display in Outlook 2016 that I described yesterday. Others with Outlook 2016 and Office 365 are now experiencing it as well. The problem has something to do with a recent update to Office 365, which has somehow corrupted the navigation pane. The issue has been referred to higher levels at Freedom Scientific, and they will contact Microsoft about the issue. I'm also going to contact the Microsoft Accessibility hotline to let them know of the issue. In the meantime, I'll have to use Control Y, rather than shift tab, to access my Outlook folder list, so at least, I'm not totally dead in the water. I'll keep everyone updated.
