outlook question
|
Gary Metzler
Hi All,
Yesterday I started using outlook 2016 because I can’t get my contacts synced in the mail and people apps. I am using the latest windows 10 and nvda. When I open a message it doesn’t always read the whole message. I have the auto read checkbox checked. What can I do to fix this? Thanks for any help.
Regards, Gary kn4ox

I don't use Outlook but for all cases where I want
to have speak all work correctly where it doesn't, I use the actual
command. I use that command every time I read a message in Windows Live
Mail. If I don't, perhaps because I read mail in plain text, the entire
message isn't read. I don't like the standard read all command. I
have the caps lock set as an NVDA key, so I can issue the command caps lock down
arrow.

Its also worth noting that read all can be given without allowing the virtual cursor to move. What you need to be is in object nav, ie the default state of the navigation mode, and use the keypad plus to auto read the message.

As I say if its in screen mode its not going to work right, but otherwise it seems to. I now read in html but do not have any of the preview panes on in email or other software as otherwise it tends to read the on screen bit of that rather than the message you open. and this is not just an nvda issue either!

Wondering about outlook. Sorry, but I've not paid attension to the outlook discussion here. Is this a web-based mail service or a local mail client? Years ago, I used outlook as part of office 97, office 2000, and office 2003. At that time, I thought that a standalone outlook was something you had to purchase.
Since "big brother" won't let me use outlook express any more--and NVDA worked so well with it, I need to start learning something else. Maybe outlook is the one. Thanks. Howard |

I think they're talking about the email client.

I'm assuming its the one supplied with Office 2016. By the mere statement of the originator saying Microsoft supplied it as no success was being had getting the free Windows mail client to work.

However I'm sure we all also know that Microsoft have been having severe crashing issues with Outlook recently in windows 10 too, if a screenreader is present. Hopefully recent updates have resolved this, but I think that was what you wanted to know. So no, in my view you would need to be pretty desperate to use Windows webmail on their outlook used to be hotmail web interface. I think maybe it was designed by a drunk programmer....

You have to pay for Outlook. Outlook is an
e-mail program. I'm not sure if there is both a cloud based and a local
version. Whatever the case, I see more complaints about Outlook than about
any other popular Windows e-mail program. I would keep away from it unless
you have a specific reason to use it. With Thunderbird, Windows Live Mail,
and, if you use Windows 10, the Windows mail app all available as choices, there
is no reason to pay for an e-mail program unless you want its extra features
which are business-related features. Windows Live Mail is no longer
supported by Microsoft but you can still get it from people who have the full
installer. One or more people on this list has it. Thunderbird and
the Windows Mail app are supported and available in the usual ways.
