Interesting, I recently set up my ?Gmail account in Outlook and you are correct, it says it’s connected to the server and all that, but it does not give a message count.

Oh well, I rarely use that account for anything since I much prefer the Exchange way for mail, contacts and such.

It works perfectly for me in a Microsoft Exchange folder, but it doesn’t report the number of messages in an IMAP folder.

As Seigart said, you need to use the num pad on your keyboard. Following his clear instructions nets the result he mentioned, I tested it and got the same message he stated, save I have more messages.

That keystroke works for me, but when it doesn’t it usually is because Outlook is displaying some message somewhere which you may or may not be able to get to with Jaws to dismiss it.

I used to be able to press JAWS key plus 3 on the number pad & it would tell me how many email messages I have. I use Outlook 2016, Windows 10 & JAWS 2018. How do I get this to work again?

Thank you.

Pass Key Through is Insert + 3 on the number row

Does your computer have a numeric pad and are you using the desktop keyboard layout with Jaws or laptop layout?

If I press Insert + 3 on the numeric pad (that would be the Page Down key otherwise) Jaws reads the status line in Outlook, like this:

Items in View 15, Unread Items in View 14, Progress All folders are up to date. Connectivity to your server. Connected to: Microsoft Exchange, Zoom 100%

I never used it, but as I recall people were griping about how it handled large books. I just dumped "A History of Private Life" into it, and it works quite well. This book could cause injury if you dropped it on your foot.

A puzzle. Can you post which email client you use, which version of Windows, and which of JAWS? Maybe then someone can suggest something to check in settings. Whatever you do, don’t abandon HTML format.

I sent the message the way I have always done. No one has ever told me there was an issue. Going back and reading my original message, it’s clear. But in reading it below other messages, I can’t translate it, either. I’m not a computer tech kind of person. I do well to use it for what I need—in fact, I depend on it for many things. So I don’t even know how to change this. Wonder why it shows up differently than ever before.

You people need to go try his link and you will see he is talking about using the company's web site to enter the info.  So he cannot even get to the google maps.

I know because I been on the phone with hime 3 times already today about this and been there and done that.

Maybe people should try before making their evaluations.

They are using Google Maps, which can be navigated with reasonable accessibility on the computer with Jaws.  You must, absolutely must, turn off the virtual cursor with Insert Z.
Hundreds or perhaps thousands of municipalities are using Google Maps for their transit directions, and it is truly somewhat navigable with Jaws, but you must turn off the virtual cursor when in Google maps and use the tab key to move around within Google Maps.

Hello,
I was asked here at work to write up an email to send off to the local 
transit center explaining the inaccessibility of the website. At least 
for me, the part that isn’t accessible using jaws is the planning for 
a trip part on the website.
So, for those that do not understand my question, here is the scenario.
Student A needs to navigate to https://www.bft.org/, from the top of 
the page, press E twice and will land on a starting address edit 
field, tabbing once will place  you in the ending address and the
rest is an edit box to select date of travel and time of travel 
whether if it’s AM etc. Then there is a plan trip button to press spacebar on.
On the next screen, select mode of travel, so from the top press A 
until arriving to the group of radio buttons. In this case I selected transit.
From here, the only way somewhat to get a clear reading is to route 
jaws to pc.
Can someone here successfully get transit directions using this site, 
before I write to the department? If not, how would I properly explain 
the inaccessibility. I mean, do I just say, your map doesn’t work with 
jaws for windows? 😊

As Seigart said, you need to use the num pad on your keyboard. Following his clear instructions nets the result he mentioned, I tested it and got the same message he stated, save I have more messages.

Nancy,

I would try going to the system access icon on the desktop and press alt + enter on the desktop icon for its properties, and change the shortcut to something else, like shift + control + S.

Or something other than that combination if you think that might conflict with another application.

I am trying to change how often Outlook receives messages; the shortcut for this is alt Control S. When I do this, System Access kicks in and just starts or restarts it. This happens even when the home server is turned off and using another screen reader. Is there a menu/submenu I can use to do this?

Pass Key Through is Insert + 3 on the number row

Does your computer have a numeric pad and are you using the desktop keyboard layout with Jaws or laptop layout?

If I press Insert + 3 on the numeric pad (that would be the Page Down key otherwise) Jaws reads the status line in Outlook, like this:

Items in View 15, Unread Items in View 14, Progress All folders are up to date. Connectivity to your server. Connected to: Microsoft Exchange, Zoom 100%
