Hi, Tom. You first have to make sure that your messages are sorted by date in the View Menu. ALT plus V, followed by A, then B, then D as in Date.

Subject: Sorting Outlook Messages By Date

 

Hello, everyone.

 

I just installed the latest Jaws 2020 update on this Windows 10 computer.

 

I’m using Outlook e-mail in Microsoft 365.

 

In the list of improvements with this update, I know Jaws will now group messages according to date, which could be quite convenient when sorting through a large folder list view.

 

Here’s what the update notes say:

 

“JAWS can now indicate group changes, such as dates or conversations, as you navigate through message lists. For example, if your Outlook view settings
are set to show messages by date and you are navigating a folder containing messages covering multiple days, when you move to the first message in the
new date group, you will hear announcements such as "today," "yesterday," "last week," or "two weeks ago." To turn on this feature, open Quick Settings
(INSERT+V) while in Outlook and select the Announce Group Change in Lists check box.”

 

I checked the “announce group change” option, but my messages still do not appear to be grouped by date.

 

Am I missing a step here?

 

Thanks!
