Re: Issue With Thunderbird And Account Settings In A Recent Update
Gene
The solution you found and that I discussed works in various browsers as
well. It may work in other programs but browsers and Thunderbird are where
I have found this to be necessary to see the full interface. And it may be
necessary to work with history as well.

Recent Update I suspect the problem is that you are in browse mode or that the virtual pc
cursor is active, depending on your screen-reader. When I am in an
interface like this where I can’t vfind what I should find, I check to see if I
can turn off browse mode in NVDA or the virtual pc cursor in JAWS.

Recent Update Hi
Group, In an attempt to help a person on another list, I wanted to see what port configuration was used by Gmail, I think it is 467 and 995, but I wanted to be sure. In any case, when I go to tools/account settings, something has changed with a recent version of Thunderbird. There used to be an accessible tree view for each account you had set up which you could access by using the up/down arrow keys and the tab and shift + tab keystrokes. Now when I access the account settings, all that is visible is one element of a tree view that does not read a name and then an HTML type interface that is largely unusable. Has anyone else tried to manually edit their account settings recently and have you experienced this issue? If so, is there a solution? Thanks for any help. -- Signature: For a nation to admit it has done grevous wrongs and will strive to correct them for the betterment of all is no vice; For a nation to claim it has always been great, needs no improvement and to cling to its past achievements is no virtue!

Well its almost American Football time so as they say in the NFL 'upon further review,' in an attempt to see what was going on in my account settings in Thunderbird, I switched from browse mode to edit mode with insert + space bar. I then used the tab and what do you know, with one back tab, I landed on a fully accessible tree view which I could then navigate with up/down arrow keys and access the various items with tab and shift tab. This is new behavior, but you get the proper results once you realize what you have to do. BTW, the proper ports for GMail are 465 for SMTP and 995 for pop/imap.

fly instead of going through the voices dialogue, then Fawaz Abdul rahman's suggestion is the best option. 1: press nvda+control+p to go to the configurations profiles menu. 2: Tab until you get the new button. 3: Name it whatever you wish, ideally a discriptive name. 4: Press tab to check the manual activation radio button. 5: Press OK. 6: Close the menue. 7: Switch to whatever language you want in the profile through control+nvda+v, then save that configuration with control+nvda+c. 8: Go the nvda preferences menu, then input gestures. 9: Down arrow until you see Configuration profiles and right arrow to expand. 10: Down arrow until you hear the name of the profile you created, than tab until you hear add and press enter or the space bar. 11: Press the key combination you want to associate with that profile, ideal a combination that isn't already associated with something. 12: A context menue will appear asking you which keyboard leyout you want the combination associated with, select whichever you wish, --I advise all keyboard layouts-- then press enter. 13: tab until you hear OK and press enter. 14: Press the key combination to activate and deactivate the profile, which will switch you the language you associated with the account and back.

Re: Intel or AMD: does the processor make a difference to NVDA
Well having both both are fine. Amd do get regular non whql drivers so you do get the latest so there is more chance for your version being compatible with the latest version of windows however at the same time you can bump into a version not compatible and causing issues but probably good if you are an insider maybe its certainly faster. Not that intels are bad or anything. After spectre amd seemed to be the more secure but at least right now its hard to get a nonbranded unlocked amd system and mostly its intel in local stores anyway. On the other side, unless you use an old a class generation or gen1 ryzen microsoft is more leniant towards amd as an upgrade path. My at least 4 or now 5 year old amd 2nd ryzen will make the upgrade path while all intel units below 8th gen will not so an amd system does have the advantage. Also while intel has tpm amd at least mine has in conjunction to tpm their own security module called sp10 and also has an actual processer devoted to security so there's that.

Hi Pranav
The first p c I purchased almost 25 years ago had an a m d processor. Currently, I am using a 5 year old h p desktop with a 6th gen I core 5 processor.
I can never afford the latest, and greatest, but currently, from what I hear from various sources, the a m d Rizon processors are a better choice in terms of performance and price.

I just checked. this is about an eleven year old Windows 7 laptop in
what was then a moderate price range, about $500. The processor is a
2.51GHZ unit. The minimum requirement for JAWS is a 1.5GHZ
processor. .

resource hogs and they don’t require fast processors. My understanding is
that if a computer runs well in general, it will run well with a
screen-reader.
However, the newer synthesizers that require more resources and aren’t as
responsive as the older ones may require discussion. My impression is that
people generally use the newer less responsive synthesizers for listening to
documents and they use older responsive synthesizers such as Eloquence for

Hi all,
I am planning to upgrade my desktop. Do CPU brands make a difference to how well a screen reader runs? Will NVDA work as well with an intel CPU as with a AMD CPU?
I suspect it does not but prefer checking.

And I'll be a third. I've never noticed any difference in how either NVDA or JAWS runs on Intel versus AMD processors.

Hi, Not in the slightest. Go with whatever you fancy and you'll be happy, at this point. I own a 1st generation Ryzen (1800x) and various Intel processors. I see no difference at all both in response time and more importantly to me, browsing windows explorer, which used to be a huge problem with NVDA. hope that helps and best of luck with your decision.
