JAWS and Thunderbird
Abbie Taylor
A couple of years ago when I subscribed to Office 365, I tried using Outlook because at the time, I was using NVDA, and Thunderbird wasn't as responsive as it had been with that screen reader. I discovered that Outlook worked a lot better with NVDA.
This past winter, I switched to JAWS. Since then, I've had difficulty, in Outlook, navigating to links, headings, etc. in a message. Sometimes, when I click on a link, it jumps to the subject field. In the daily summary messages I receive from my lists at groups.io such as this one, when I click on a link to a topic that interests me, it takes me to a different message from the one I wanted.
For those of you using JAWS with Thunderbird, how well does it work? Do you have difficulties similar to what I described above? I'd appreciate any input. Thank you in advance.

Re: All-in-One Printer

If you want an economical and longer lasting printer, get a laser, leave the inkjets at the store.

Hi Marie,

The Google Home Max is much larger than the mini, hence much better sound and volume, plus you actually get stereo out of it and two can be paired together for better stereo separation. laz

What does the Max do that the Minie does not, or is there any difference other than perhaps the Max has better sound?

First of all, thanks as always. However, this problem is different. I can actually open the folder from Drop Box. However, when I have highlighted the file or folder in question and paste, I get a message that the copying process has been interrupted. As I said, this started happening yesterday. Thanks.

Go to Drop Box in the system tray. I don’t think that you can do this in the System tray dialog your screen-reader offers. Open the Drop box icon with the space bar or enter. They both may work or try each. Up arrow to preferences. Up arrowing is much faster. Tab until you get to open folders in. If it says desktop Dropbox application or something similar, up arrow to file explorer. Tab to and activate the ok button. That will cause the old display where you can copy and paste to be used.
