It would, but I don’t like doing that, in case that text comes up in something you’re reading.  It would be completely ignored.

 

All the best

Hi Cristóbal & Steve,

 

What if you put the phrase,

 

List box Connectivity to your server. Connected

 

Into the Jaws dictionary Add / Actual word field and put a space into the Replacement word field.  This would mute Jaws of saying that text.

Take care.  Mike.  Go Dodgers!

No, it won’t help, I’m on Highlighted and it still does it.

 

All the best

Hi Cristóbal,

 

One thought is maybe your screen echo has changed.  While in Outlook press, Jaws key + S, to tobble through settings.  They are Highlighted, All, & None.  It sounds like it might be set on, All, so switch it to, Highlighted, and see if that helps.

Take care.  Mike.  Go Dodgers!

Hello list,

I’ve been having this issue for a while now. I can’t recall when it started, but regardless, it happens every single time  I switch folders in Outlook 2016. Be it a main inbox or subfolder, etc.

I get the below message every time I switch folders.

List box Connectivity to your server. Connected

I don’t need to be informed that I’m connected all the time. Any ideas on how to stop this?

I’ve got 6 email accounts configured with a mixture of imap and exchange. This will occur regardless if I switch to an imap folder.

Anyway, I’m on Jaws 2018 and recently started to play with the JFW 2019 beta. This exact same behavior is occurring in the beta so I know at this point it’s not just my JFW 2018 version. I’m sure it has to do with a setting I’m not aware of or have perhaps by accident enabled.

Thanks,

Cristóbal
