Are you running the latest Jaws 2022 Beta? I would consider myself to be a fairly advanced computer user and especially taks I do all the time I like to do very fast which of course is a reason why I use Eloquence and I would definitely say Jaws 2022 is very responsive in Outlook when navigating mailboxes, deleting items and so on. As for opening mails it really depends a bit on the content on the message, the length of a thread etc., but Jaws 2022 here is also faster than Jaws 2021 ever was. And finally I assume it also depends a bit on your internet speed, whether you have a reasonably fast system with an SSD and all that.

Hi,

I wouldn’t say super responsive, it’s not bad. But if you try NVDA with ESpeak, it runs way more responsive than JAWS ever will I think.

I can’t ever imagine JAWS being a lean app, there is too much legacy stuff in there still.

All the best

Jaws 2022 is super responsive in Outlook now and please note I am talking about Outlook 2016 via Microsoft 365 which is the most up to date version, but I assume it would be similar in Office 2019.

No problem with that here.

I Have noticed that the reading of messages when moving up and down the inbox is much improved!

Dear Listers:

After I downloaded and installed the new JAWS Beta the other night I discovered that it wouldn’t read any e-mail messages.  It will tell me who each message is from, but after I open up each message and try to read the message body the text always appears to be blank.  How many of you have noticed this about the new JAWS Beta and what did you do about it?

Will the latest version of jaws 2021, enable us too install it,   with a self install voice, where we can install it with the ability too be able too optimize  windows 11,  without us having problems using Jaws?

Thanks in advance,  Al

I apologize, I should have said Control + Shift + Tab is what brings you to the folder list when  you are in a mail box. It used to be that Shift + Tab did, but now you have to add the Control key to that shortcut.

As for F6, it still works, but if you are in a mailbox and you want to go straight to your folders list you have to press Shift + F6, if you press only F6, you would have to press it 4 times to get there, the fifth time you would be back in your mailbox, but Shift + F6 will get you there right away.

Another thing to keep in mind is that the folder list you get to with Control + Shift + Tab or Shift + F6 no longer contains Calendar, Contacts and Notes. But if you use Control + Y these are still there.

If you want to get to them in another way you have to press Shift + F6 twice or F6 three times, this will put you on the "Mail button", you can now arrow right to Calendar, People (which is Contacts) or Tasks. The last item here is something called the "Navigation menu" and if you activate this you can find Notes or you can find "Navigation Options", here you can reorder these items the way you want and you can put Notes further up in the list so it will show up instead of, for example, Tasks.

To do this when you have tabbed into the list, find Notes and then tab to where it says "Move Up" and activate it until Notes is where you want it in that list, similarly you could go to Tasks and move it down.

Thanks, Control + Y did it!

It is either Control + Shift + F6 or Control + Y also brings u the folder list.

Hello.  I’m using the most recent versions of Windows 10, Outlook 2016 and JAWS 2021.  I’m setting up a new Asus laptop, and pulling in the data from the old Acer laptop for Outlook seemed to work, but I need to list the folders, which I used to do on the old laptop with Shift-F6.  Now that key combo causes Windows notifications to come up.  The F6 key by itself on my new laptop turns the touchpad on and off.
