Alt+T to open the Tools menu, then preferences.

Be sure to use JAWS+escape to refresh JAWS when you change sections on the categories list, JAWS isn't very good at refreshing itself here.

You probably need to go into the Thunderbird settings and turn off some or all of Thunderbird's methods of notifying you that you have new email. I turned off all of them except for playing a sound and JAWS doesn't say anything when new messages arrive.

Okay, is there any way to get Jaws to stop telling when I receive a
bunch of new messages?

To change the order of the messages you can do that in the view menu
under sort by.

To change the order of the columns is harder, I haven't found a way
to do it in JAWS without sighted help.

Hi all,

Can anyone tell me how to change the order of colums and messages (I
want the newest ones ate the top) in Thunderbird? Using latest
versions of Jaws, Thunderbird and Windows 11. Thanks
