Ok, when using nvda, and Jaws they work just fine with thunderbird.
Window eyes is the problem the thunderbird set files aren't even loaded
you have to manually unload and thenload them before they are active.
But that does not fix the back space issue when ereasing what you have
written.
I Know several people who are strong window eyes users that switched
either to nvda or jaws.
Because of thunderbird issues, and browse mode issues.
Ihave been a window eyes user for more then ten years but as of late use
window eyes very seldomly.

Hi Jed,
Well, like you, I do experience many problems with TB. In fact, not
sure why so many think it is so great, I don't but I am using it. I
also think that there are a few problems with WE and focus both with
TB and other programs. One thing I have noticed is that often, WE
does not have the proper set file loaded. Just before writing this
note, I was in TB with the mailbox list opened and I went to the WE
control panel only to find that the active set file was Wineyes.set.
I have witnessed this behavior in other situations including when I
write a reply to an email. It is not consistent. I just interrupted
my composing to see if I could use arrow and numpad keys. The left
arrow and right arrow keys do move but not the up and down arrows.
Interestingly enough, the numpad keys do nothing except giving the
frustyrating ding. However, If I use the shift with numpad keys they
seem to work properly and text is either selected or deselected.
I am currently running the latest version of TB and WE on a new
Toshiba Satellite laptop. I have been wondering if there is some
peculiarity with the system settings for the keyboard. I have found a
setting that says "use the numpad keys to move the mouse". I did
change this setting but can't figure out what changes occurred.
Unlike my previous laptop, this new one has the numpad on the keyboard
whereas before, I used and external numpad. In that situation, I was
able to use the keys on the external numpad to move around on the
desktop but with the new machine, I cannot. However, if I hold down
the shift key, then the numpad keys do allow the reading of items on
the desktop and I can move up and down as well as left to right. So,
I think there is something amiss. Another reason I think there are
focus problems with WE is that often WE will speak things from recent
past, that is, it will speak either something from a previous web page
or from another message. So, I continue to have the same frustrations.

Hey guys,
OK, my frustration is getting bigger with thunderbird. I am running the
latest TB, we 9.4, and eyt again on a brand new computer, still having
the issues where i can't read up and down with my arrow keys in TB. I
have to keep re-focusing. Is anyone else having this problem? This is
getting very old, and i'm pretty tired of it. It's quite frankly
unacceptable While writing this message, i just tried going left and
right with the arrow keys, and it literally says nothing. Any ideas?
