Good morning Albert,
Good news, JFW 6 provides better access to the outlook calendar which is
the main problem. I've been using Outlook 2003 with JAWS 51 for 1 year
now and love it. I am totally blind, so I'm not using the screen at all.
One key difference with outlook 2003, and the reason you found not
useable, is that when you land on a folder like "Inbox" you have to hit
enter to highlight that folder and then you just tab once and boomb your
in the folder. One thing I like is in the left side where the folder
list is, there are other kind of dynamic folders like "Unread" "flagged
for follow up" these help keep email better organized. For example you
can hit enter on "Unread" tab once and you can quickly view all unread
emails. This helps with clean up. Also, the "Junk" folder, once you have
it set up, works pretty good.
Let me know if you have any questions.
Good luck,

Hi all. My employer is about to switch to Outlook 2003 from good old
reliable Outlook 2000 and I am interested to know whether or not it will
be
a usable product. The first time I tried it I found it difficult if not
impossible to use so am a little nervous about the move. Have Freedom
Scientific or Microsoft done anything to make it easier to use? Any
suggestions or guidance will be greatly appreciated.
Thx, Albert
