Need some help learning outlook 2019.


Ron Kolesar
 

Hello, from long time JAWS user Ron Kolesar.

Kolesar16417@... <mailto:Kolesar16417@...>

In short, I've been a Windows live mail user and love WLM.

But WLM is starting to crash user's mail left and right.

I tried u sing Thunder Bird and didn't like
it.

So, I'm learning how to use outlook 2019 with jaws.

In short, when I do a message rule within WLM, in the first column I down
arrow until I see where to and cc line contains people, which I make sure is
checked.

My first question here is, is there something similar to the above from WLM
within outlook?

Also, could you walk me through to set up a rule for each of my
subscriptions?

For example, when you reply to this letter, you'll go into the Ron's
Mailbox, because, the kolesar16417@...
<mailto:kolesar16417@...> address is triggered to go to the
Ron's Mailbox.

I also have a mailbox for each of all of my subscriptions as well.

Here's hoping I can learn how to use outlook 2019 like I did with WLM.

I need to desperately learn a third party mail package because the mail part
of Spectrum AKA Roadrunner mail isn't all that screen reader friendly.

So far, I found out via a few you tube videos that to send and receive is f9
and to simply send is alt s.

I also figured out to go to the different mailboxes AKA Folders, we do a
ctrl y then we're able to do first letter navigation.

But for now, I need to go to the wLM address book, because even though I had
the accessibility help desk assist me in setting up outlook and my contacts,
I still can't use my first few auto fill for pluggin in an address.

How can I turn that featur on, within outlook 2019?

Also, for all of my fellow ham radio friends, I have their call sign in the
nickname field and I then can simply start typing in the call sign and the
name and address pops up with in the to field so that I may then go to
subject and body to write the letter.

Can anyone help me with this as well?

Within WLM it is f5 to send and receive and in outlook it is f9.

Within WLM to go down to each of your mailboxes, you simply just down
arrowed.

Is there a easier way to go to a folder within outlook other than doing a
ctrl y then the first letter of the title of the folder?

How to create a mailbox AKA folder and subfolders as well?

I have a few extra folders when I perform the ctrl d and or simply just the
delete key on the calculator keypad doesn't remove the folder.

Now, I can removed messages, but can't remove folders.

How can I remove the extra folders?

In WLM, I only had to press the little delete key on the calculator keypad.

Now I've tried ctrl and the letter D like I found, but that only deletes
messages and not extra mailboxes.

Now, also, how can I tell if the mailbox should be in the list of folders?

For example, I have a send folder, a send items folder and a send mail
folder.

Which one of the three above should I kill if any?

Also, I need to have my signature AKA tag line at the bottom of my mail as
well.

Many thanks from a JAWS user who's trying to learn a new mail package.

Hi Ron,
I have just been transitioning from using Outlook 2013 to Outlook 2016 so
will tell you a few things here with the caveat that I don't own Outlook
2019. However, I have been using Outlook from the 2007 version and things
don't change that much from version to version so hopefully much of this
will help you.

To make a rule, you first make the new folders you want the incoming mail to
go to. It is pretty much like standard Windows procedure, you go to your
folders list within Outlook, go one level in the hierarchy above where you
want the folder to be, press the applications (context) key, arrow down
and choose new and give the folder a name. Also at the one level up in the
hierarchy, you can press the applications key again and in the choices there
is one to alphabetize A-Z all the folders one level down from where your
focus is, so after you make all your different folders you'll want to
alphabetize them so you can do the first letter navigation.
Now to make the rule itself, go to the Inbox or whatever mailbox all your
mail flows into, then I believe you press alt f I r n which stands for file
info > rule > new which starts your process to make a new rule.
There's a lot to be filled out but you can tab around and figure things out
yourself. I recently subscribed to this list and so my rule was any mail
which had [office-accessibility] somewhere in the subject line, move it to
and then there's a place where you choose the folder you want the rule to
deposit the mail to. Works great.

I'll leave it to others to answer all your specific questions, but some
other things I would say are:
To work well with Jaws navigation, you want to have the part of the display
where beginning of each email is previewed hidden. Probably this is in the
view (alt v) menu, but I can't remember. If you hear something like message
preview, toggle that to off and Jaws will work better.

The application key is your friend. Sit on a message in your mailbox list of
messages and press it and arrow down through the choices, and you'll see
reply, reply to all, etc.
Commonly used keystrokes beyond what you've mentioned are:
Ctrl + r starts a reply to a message, and ctrl + f starts a forward.
To attach a file, alt n, a f works for me.
Yes, alt + s sends a message. I prefer ctrl + m to F9 for fetching my email
as I like keeping my hands down near the main rows of typing.
Another frequently used keystroke command to memorize is ctrl + shift + v.
This is when you want to move a message from one folder to another, most
commonly of course when a message comes into your inbox. You press ctrl +
shift + v and then choose from your folder list which folder to file it away
in.
Basically you tab and shift + tab around the major display of Outlook.
The search query box is also super important. You can search a single word
or do a multiple word search like this:
Word#1 AND Word#2 AND Word#3 with the and's in capital letters and then
shift tab a couple of times back to the search results, to have a narrow
search where you know multiple words are in the message.
I apologize if anything I've written is different in 2019 compared to 2016.
I have never used WLM but if you are an experienced Jaws user I predict you
will be very happy with Outlook.

Hi, only thing I would add is the shift+ctrl+e key is the shortcut to create a new folder, sorry if you put that in the message and I missed it but I find that one really useful!
