Came to the Win10 forum but the post pertains to this list, so please respond to the original poster directly (if you can). Cheers, Joseph

My first impressions is it works pretty well. Being a long time Window Eyes user I am used to the commands for WE and not NVDA. Window Eyes has a command I use quite often to search a web page. In WE control shift f is the WE find command. Is there a similar command in NVDA? Is there any kind of comparison chart showing WE commands versus NVDA commands? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Rosemarie, Based on your description I'm fairly certain that it's not your address book that needs tweaking, but the display name associated with your e-mail account in Outlook. I'm basing the following on that presumption. To shorthand this if I list something like ALT+F, I, A that means hit ALT+F, followed by I, followed by A. 1. Open Outlook and hit ALT+F, I, A which will put you in the Account Information Pane. 2. In Outlook 2010 it makes no difference which account you choose from the dropdown before the next step, so you'll have to choose it again anyway. So Tab to the Account Settings button and activate it, at which point you have to activate the dropdown for account settings (don't ask me why). 3. This brings up the account settings dialog. What follows presumes you have more than one e-mail account set up in Outlook. You'll be able to omit a step or two if you have just one. 4. The e-mail tab is open, which is what you want to deal with. If you have more than one account, you will want to hit TAB six times until you land in the accounts list, then down arrow through the accounts until you get to the one for which you wish to make a change and select it. You can skip this step entirely if you have only a single account. 5. Hit ALT+A, which at this point invokes the Change dialog. You should immediately land in the edit box for "Your Name" which is what you want to change so that whatever name you prefer is used as the prefix on your e-mail address in outgoing e-mail messages. If by some chance you aren't sitting in that box then hit ALT+Y to throw yourself into it. Edit as desired. 6. (Optional) Check out any of the other account settings you might want to tweak. 7. Hit ALT+N to activate the next button, this will do a test of your account settings, which should succeed if the only thing you changed is your name. 8. After the test confirms that everything is OK, hit ALT+C to close the test dialog. 9. Activate the Finish button to close out the process.

Re: changing my name in the outlook address book
Gene
If you want to experiment with different programs,
you'll save time and trouble if you simply leave the old program installed and
set up and try the new program. You don't have to remove Outlook to try
Thunderbird or any other e-mail program. And you don't have to remove any
accounts.
You may want to make another e-mail program the
default program or you may not but except in rare cases where there may be some
sort of conflict between programs, there is no need to remove something while
trying something else.

I notice on coolblindtech a tutorial about using it with narrator; and I thought i heard how to do these things.; However having looked at this; it does seem awfully limited even less advanced than Outlook Express was. I think Microsoft could do themselves a favour here by simply making Outlook express hacked version I use official and junking the poor excuse for a mail app they have no doubt spent about ten minutes writing from scratch.; Oh cynical; me?; grin.; Brian

Re: how do you perform these updates

an easy way for us is by typing in the following commands iexplore www.java.com click download click aggree uncheck any add boxes before you do so, hit alt n select run. wait, wait. hit alt i when prompted. wait, wait, hit alt u when prompted this may appear or not. finally hit alt c when prompted. Or winkey r for run then type control hit enter. find java hit enter. control tab to updates. hit check now then download. or in start menu search for java con and it should pop up as configure java or java control panel.

Re: The mail app in windows 10
David Moore
Hey Gene, The neat thing is that the commands are a lot like the ones in Windows live mail. With NVDA, it is so much better to use the review cursor commands instead of using the arrow keys. NvDA does not say what you type in the mail app. Work needs to be done with NVDA to work in the mail app as good as JAWS does. JAWS works great! For some reason, NVDA does not work as well as it use to in the mail app. I hope they can make those fixes in 2016.4. Let me know if you want my tutorial. I go into much detail on how to use the mail, people, and calendar apps. Take care, Gene. David Moore

Hi guys
Just a quick question. In windows 10 in the mail app is there a way of replying to a message or even forwarding it on? I can not seem to find any buttons or no matter what I do to reply to a message or forward one. fIs this the way the app is designed more just to read and delete etc.
I did also notice that when you typed in to the message of the body plus the subject line there was no key echo, but would read back what you typed.
I was seeing if it worked or not as one of my hotmail accounts refuses to work now and no matter what I do in mozilla thunderbird to make it work is no longer working.
