I have been switching from outlook express to windowmslive mail and I found it's so slow with downloading messages besides it doesn't have an option to sync with appointment and all that. So, I did try to google and found that MS outlook 2007 is another good one but i'm not sure the capability with jaws.
Has anyone ever used or currently use jaws 11 with ms outlook 2007? please let me know any tips, trick or problem with it?
Thanks!

I use it daily, but if you are having slow downloads it's probably due to your internet connection, or that you have to much clutter in your gboxes. If Windows Live Mail loads slow so will Outlook 2007, so switching won't solve that issue. look in all your folders and clean them. Also try setting either to conect automaticly that improves download speed. Last If you must store lots of email either store it in a folder that you set to not sync or store it on your computer directly. Also to get your mail quickly you can simply use the F 9 in outlook or F5 in Windows live mail. You can also set the checking to say 10 minutes, but if you know you have email and want it now use these or control M to bring it now. The setting i'm talking about is under options. If you need direct info on how to locate it say and I'll post that.

thanks, I am now trying to use outlook 2007 and found it faster than windowslive.. but I have another issue now lol! when I email people and try to find my contact list, in ms outlook doesn't let me see my list rather it asks me to search, however, I can type in manually though it doesn't predict as outlook express does...
I may be have to choose now really whether ms outlook or wlm.

Your contact list must be imported and if there you have to use alt 2 to bring it up. You'll find if you control tab a list outlook then your email, and if you have a third that email hit inter on the one you want to view then tab and use arrow keys. Sometimes it's not smooth, but you'll get the hang of seeing it. Go through you contacts and write names you want to type in to bring them up in the name box and it will start to learn and work as outlook express did.

Sorry gave the wrong controls
control 1 email control 2 calendar and control 3 contacts. Then use the control tab it you are not on the list you want.

thx everyone, so I have my solution now. use ms outlook when I'm at work and windows live mail when at home... seems a bit unneccessary but there u are.
