Hi all,

We use Microsoft exchange at one of my teaching jobs. There are two 
versions of the Outlook web interface: the full site and the scaled down 
version that works better with screen readers. The screen reader version 
is very accessible, but it's not the most eficient site on the planet. 
For example, all controls are links, so to find what I want, I need to 
either arrow around or use the browser find command. Things would go 
more quickly if some controls were links; others, links with graphics; 
and still others, buttons. Because of this, downloading my students' 
homework and later uploading my responses takes one to two hours, 
depending on the number of students.

To make better use of my time, I'd really like to send and receive my 
Exchange email directly on the computer, but the IT director on campus 
says that's not possible. I suspect that it is possible but that the 
powers that be have decided not to allow it.

Is there any way to receive exchange mail anyway? In Options, there's an 
item for sending the email to my cell phone. Can that somehow be routed 
to the computer? If I were using Outlook for Windows, would I be able to 
receive Exchange mail into regular Outlook?

I suspect the answer to both questions is "no," but it doesn't hurt to 
ask, right?

Ciao
