Hi Brian,

A useful add on that is obtained from Thunderbird itself is called Quick Folder key navigation.  This will allow you to use first letter navigation to move from folder to folder when in the tree view of folders.  This restores a key function that blind users liked in the old faithful Outlook Express.

If you are using NVDA, searching for this add on within Thunderbird is quite simple.  Click tools/add ons and tab 3 times to the  edit field.  Then type in quick folder key navigation and wait a few seconds.  Then tab once more to the list of results.  There should only be one.  Then use the right click menu to choose install and follow the prompts.

Thanks Ron.   This clears up another bit of confusion as I was not thinking of an NVDA Add-On but of a Thunderbird Add-On, of which there are more than I can count.
