Tony, I know of others using Windows Mail with some success with other screen readers. Have you tried it with NVDA or Narrator to see if you have the same issues that you are having with Window-Eyes? One of the issues that will be faced for certain at some point is that other screen readers are doing a lot on an on-going basis to keep up with changes to programs like Outlook, and even Window-Eyes is still using a lot of the work done in the past. It is possible that some aspects of Windows Mail could work better with the right Window-Eyes "app" but it isn't that easy to make that happen now.
The Becky email program is not free but is only something like $35 and there is no charge for upgrades. You have to change a few settings and the interface is a little different but I believe it is still working with Window-Eyes. That might be worth a look and they have a trial period. You can check out http://www.rimarts.co.jp/becky.htm#download but remember you have to disable the "Line Pointer" in the "edit" tab of "general Setup and also the "Four Way Cursor" option in the Message tab of the same dialog. This simply means unchecking the associated check boxes. That program is still being updated but their updates seem to be very carefully done.

This was the second email client which did this to me. The previous one was Windows Live Mail. Since I switched to Office 365 Outlook, this has not happened. I know that Office 365 costs money on an ongoing basis, but Microsoft regularly improves its accessibility, and so staying with it gives you the best opportunity to use accessible email software on Windows and the Apple Mac. I know, I say this all the time.
