Re: accessible email clients with NVDA

Regarding Outlook Express losing mail, I'm not sure
to what extent this happens when saving mail in most folders. it happens
enough to be a real potential problem when people save what I have called
ridiculous amounts of mail in the inbox. I should clarify that that is
what I meant, though I have seen a number of people who have had corrupted
deleted messages folders over the years. But what the percentage of users
is that has this problem is something I don't know.

Subject: Re: [nvda] accessible email clients with NVDA Messy? Why? Because you don't like
ribbons? That's your opinion of ribbons, if that is the case and is not a
proper factual description of the program. I don't lose mail in Windows
Live Mail except if the program crashes. I mostly use the old menu version
of the program but I do use the new ribbon version when I am on vacation.
That means I haven't used it much but to the extent that I have, something like
a total of three weeks, I've only lost messages when the program crashes and
because it very seldom does in my case, it seldom loses mail. I've read a
little about the program in reviews and I haven't seen this allegation about
losing mail elsewhere.
I have seen the crashing problem discussed that I
have discussed before. Without more efvidence, I will assume that your
discussion of losing mail is not a serious problem unless the user has the
crashing problem.
And Outlook Express is notorious for losing mail if
people save ridiculous numbers of messages in the program, which many people
do.

NVDA OE is still pretty good. Its probably more secure than one might think in most circumstances. I'd not run a company with it, and Outlook of course is only available as part of Office and microsoft cannot leave it alone. Its far too bloated and tries to do things most just do not need.

As do the millions of other users. It's one of the more popular email clients out there, and accessible, too. Outlook, at least up through the 2013 version, is also accessible as is Windows Live Mail 2012, but official support just terminated for the latter. WLM 2012 should be just fine for a while for POP and IMAP e-mail access methods. It will certainly hit the tech press when it begins it's transition to "a block of security Swiss cheese" that Outlook Express became long ago. -- *Brian* If you think that you can think about a thing, inextricably attached to something else, without thinking of the thing it is attached to, then you have a legal mind. ~ Thomas Reed Powell
