Hey guys,

my outlook is totally messed up, bringing me up two- or three-months-old mails which I had deleted a long time ago. Now I am looking for other email programs that are accessible with jaws, because the yahoo website is very grafical and jaws takes ages to load. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

There's Thunderbird, but I've heard it doesn't work with Yahoo.

Have you tried repairing the Outlook, e.g. go under view and "arrange by", make sure that "date" is checked. My Outlook once started arranging emails by sender and then I started getting all old emails, something like this could easily fix your problem. Eudora, I think, is pretty accessible, but I've never used it myself.

I just use GMail's web interface. works much better than any other email program, and you dont have to download the emails before you can view them. I think downloading the emails before you view them is a huge security risk, and if your anti virus isn't up to date you might get a virus, or even two.

The thing with gmail is that it only downloads messages that are in the inbox or any folder you creaded. If it is in the spam then you wont see it in your e-mail client. I check my spam folder when I have a chance.
