Re: [JAWS-Users] Collapse / Expand Not Being Spoken, How It Was Fixed, Revised
Hi Again All, I misspoke in my last post by not mentioning 2 important steps for labeling the collapsed & expanded graphics. Here are the steps in the correct order; 1. While in Windows Mail press Insert + 6, on the number row above the main keyboard. This puts you into the Settings Center for the Windows Mail application. 2. Navigate to Graphics & Symbols, press right arrow to open, arrow down to graphic verboscity, & press the spacebar until Jaws announces, all graphics. 3. Now tab to apply , press the spacebar, tab to okay, & press the spacebar to save the settings & close the Settings Center. 4. Now is when I ran the auto graphics labeler by invoking the keystroke, insert, control, + G. When running the auto graphics labeler you have to wait until Jaws reports that it has finished & Jaws will also report how many graphics were labeled, if any were labeled. 5. Then through some experimentation I came up with the following; On my computer Graphic #540 I labeled as, collapsed. Graphic #846 was labeled as, expanded. Now Windows Mail is correctly reading if email grouped messages are collapsed or expanded with Jaws14. 6. Now follow step #2 but, when you get to graphic verboscity you want to press the spacebar until you hear Jaws announce, labeled graphics. Now apply & close the Settings Center. To be on the safe side i re-booted the computer & now everything is working correctly. Collapsed or Expanded is being announced depending on the state of the message thread. Take care.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Collapse / Expand Not Being Spoken
Hi Marilyn, What happens when you have group messages by conversation selected is, if there are more than 1 email message in a thread, you will only hear 1 message announced. Jaws will announce the message criteria then announce collapsed. This means there is more than 1 message with the particular subject line. You then press the right arrow to expand the thread & view the rest of the messages. For me, this helps navigate through email messages faster because you are navigating by groups of messages rather than singular messages provided there is more than 1 message in the particular thread. I hope my explanation makes sense. Take care.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Windows Mail question
Hi Tara, Yes, you can navigate Windows Mail folders with first letter navigation. Yes, it is normal to enter folders when navigating by arrowing or first letter navigation but, it only does this if there are emails in that particular folder. If you don't want to view email in a particular folder tab 1 time to get into list view & navigate to a different folder. Take care.

When I arrow up and down to each folder, it automatically goes into the folder and does not tell me how many messages are unread. I'm a little confused as to whether or not this is normal for Windows Mail or is there a setting that will allow me to simply arrow down the folders or press the first letter of a folder without actually entering the folder.

Re: [JAWS-Users] windows mail
Hi Lenny, Try going to your contacts folder in; C:\Users\NameFolder\Contacts\ 1. Open the contacts folder. 2. Tab to the organize button. 3. Now, right arrow to, New Contact Group button & follow the steps below from there . 1.Tab to the Organize button, which is the first control on the Toolbar. 2.Press Right Arrow until you get to the New Contact Group button, and then press it. 3.A Contact Group Properties dialog opens. This is a two page dialog, and it opens on the Contact Group page, which is described in detail in the Editing Contact Groups section below. However, the following steps describe how to name the group and add existing contacts. 4.Type a name for the group into the Group Name edit box. 5.To add existing Contacts to the group, Tab to the Add to Contact Group button, and press it. 6.An Add Members to Contract Group dialog opens, which has a similar layout to the standard Vista Open dialog. By default the view of the Folder view is Tiles, so the first time you use this dialog it's worth setting the view to List. To do this, press Shift + Tab twice to move to the Folder view, but do not select any files. Open the context menu, then open the View sub-menu, and choose List. 7.In the Folder view, select one or more Contacts or Contact Groups, and then press Enter to press the default Add button. 8.You're returned to the Contact Group Properties dialog, where the focus is the Add to Contact Group button. Because the focus is a button, you can't just press Enter to press the default OK button. Instead, either Tab all the way to the OK button and press it, or just Tab to a control which isn't a button or a link, and then press Enter. Sending messages using your contact groups In a similar manner to using contacts, you can send messages using your contact groups either in a New message window, or from your Contacts folder. In a new message window, you can type in the names of contact groups, just as you would the names of contacts. When the message is sent, the name of the group is replaced by all the addresses of the contacts. Alternatively, in your Contacts folder: 1.Select a Contact group. (In fact you can select more than one contact group, and contacts as well.) 2.Open the context menu, then open the Action sub-menu (access key A), and then press Enter to choose the first menu item which is Send E-mail. 3.A New Message window opens. All the contacts in the contacts group are already entered in the To edit box, and the focus is at the end of the Edit box. Editing Contact Groups To edit a Contact Group in your Contacts folder, select it and press Enter. A Properties dialog for the Contact Group opens, and you can then change and add information in this dialog. The Contact group properties dialog is used both for creating and editing contact groups. The dialog has two pages: Contact Group and Contact Group details. The latter contains controls for optional data that you might want to give about the group. The controls on the Contact Group page are: .A Group Name edit box. .An Add to Contact Group button for adding existing contacts or groups to this group. This was described above in the Creating a new contact group section. .A Create New Contact button for creating a new contact and adding it to the group. .A "List of group members" list view. .A Remove Selected Contacts button. However to remove one or more contacts, it's easier just to select them in the List of group members, and then press Delete. .Contact Name and E-Mail edit boxes, and a Create for group only button, for adding a contact to the group but not to your Contacts. Hope this helped. Take care. Mike - Original Message - From: Becky Buckner To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Sent: Saturday, June 02, 2012 2:30 PM Subject: [JAWS-Users] windows mail Hi all.

[JAWS-Users] Windows Mail and Windows Live Mail
Hi Jerry, When I send an email to several people using Windows Mail, I use almost the same steps as I do using Outlook Express. I always use the BCC field when I send emails to several people. The revised steps for Windows Mail are below. You don't have to have the BCC field highlighted to do this but, highlighting the BCC field is probably a good idea until you get used to the way it works. 1. After pressing control + F, to forward, control +N, for a new message, or control + R, to reply, tab down to the BCC field to get ready to enter your recipients. 2. Press Alt + T, for tools, press the letter R, for select recipients, & tab 2 times to Address List, list view. You should be at the top of your contacts list. 3. You can arrow down through the list or go by first letter navigation. However you navigate the contacts list, whenever you have a name highlighted that you want enter into the Bcc field, press, Alt + B, on each name you want to send this message to. Invoking the Alt + B keystroke is the keystroke for adding names to the BCC field. Alternatively, invoking the, Alt +T keystroke will add names to the, To: field, & invoking the, Alt + C keystroke will add names to the, CC: field. 4. After you have added all the names you are sending this message to, tab 8 times to the, List Bcc, List view, arrow down this list to make sure that you have included everyone you want to add. If all the people you want are there, tab 1 more time to, Okay, & press the spacebar. 5. Now, tab to the subject field, do whatever you have to do here, tab to the edit field, type in your message, & send as normal. Hope this helps & doesn't scare you away from using the Bcc Field! It gets really easy after you do it a few times & get used to the way it works. Take care.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Windows7 Start Menu Folders
Hi don David, & Larry, I was talking to a friend about placing folders on the start menu & I was informed that a person needs to take ownership of certain folders that Windows7 doesn't allow access to in order to do so. If you want to put folders in the start menu accessed by the Windows key, you need to have access to the start menu folder that is in the your name folder located in the User folder of the root of the Windows7 folder, Local Disk C. This is a hidden system folder. In this start menu folder there is a Programs folder that folders can be placed into then, only after folders are placed into this Programs folder will they show up in the All Programs folder that is accessed via the Windows Key. I haven't tried running any shortcut keystrokes this way yet but, after I do I'll let you all know they worked. Take care.

Individual files and programs can be added by locating them in Windows Explorer and pressing Shift + Application keys and hitting Enter on "Pin to Start menu". Holding the Shift key while hitting the Application key adds a few interesting extra items in the menu. *Don Marang* On 10/16/2011 8:48 AM, Mike & Barbara wrote: > Hi Larry, > > Thank you for the items tip but, I can't seem to be able to put a folder > into the start menu.
