Re: NVDA Slowing to a Crawl again in Thunderbird
Kevin Cussick
Right, this may or may not fix things but can't hurt.

General sluggishness with Thunderbird. I have a feeling, though, that this is a Thunderbird issue and nothing to do with NVDA. Try disabling Tools -> Options -> Advanced -> Enable Global Search and Indexer. Note that this isn't accessibility or screen reader specific, but I personally found that global search didn't help me and was a performance killer.

Why is this not recommended?

It can't unless portable NVDA itself is run ad administrator (not recommended). With portable copy, one cannot interact with User Account Control and secure screens effectively. Cheers, Joseph

Then you install the portable copy onto the system with the option in the Tools menu.

You could also try running as admin after you run it the first time. If you use 2019.3, the default action of nvda.exe is to restart, so that might work. In either case, the person at the other end will have to hit alt y when UAC dialogs come up.

Sure you can.

Create a portable NVDA and install remote. Set it up to autoconnect. After that, create a self-extracting archive which automatically runs it. For example, see 7-Zip's help file for -sfx.

I think it might be best to zip them up into a single zip file, and have this person install the NVDA first followed by the Remote add-on. Cheers, Joseph

Re: Thunderbird address page.
Daniel Hawkins
hmm, that is exactly what I am using.
toggle quoted messageShow quoted text
Ok, here is a big question for everyone. Using a windows 10 computer, what email clients do you use that allow Google sync? I know the native mail and people app does that, but i feel navigation in the mail app still need some accessibility improvements before I call it reliable.

That is how you open Address Book, but to display the contacts, all it says is unknown.

Hello everyone,
Recently, i just realized that i cannot access my contacts in my Address Book in Mozilla Thunderbird. At first i thought it was just my pc, but then two other consumers have the same issue. i was checking in to see if anyone has the same issue and if they found a workaround on this.

portable copy with 2019.3.1
Brian Moore
HI all. This seems to be new. Always keep a portable copy of NVDA on a usb thumb drive that I carry around. Yesterday, deleted the old one and made a portable copy of my currently running 2019.3.1 It worked but for the first time, none of the add ons I have installed came with it. There was a portable configuration but it was default settings with no addons.
Anyone else seen this?

Thunderbird Is it possible that the part of the email you are reading is when in reply mode and it is the info from the senders' part?

Re: NVDA and wordpress
Nimer Jaber
And with that, I am going to lock this thread as we have seemingly moved away from NVDA accessibility to talking about how to use Wordpress. If you would like to learn more about Wordpress, a resource was given for a mailing list, and questions of such nature can be sent to the NVDA chat list as well. Thanks.

Actually there is a way to turn off the visual editor. I did this in my prefs and it works nicely. It should work better with nvda if you want to do that. Take care Sarah Alawami, owner of TFFP. .
