[Blindtlk] accessible email

[Heather Field]

Hello Chris,
Regarding your comments on the similarities of Outlook Express and Outlook, 
I beg to differ. Outlook and Outlook express are not particularly similar. 
Outlook Express is a very stripped down, far superior program for those 
people who just want an email program and not all the other things, journal, 
calendar/scheduler, lots of categories, and so on, that you get in outlook 
express.

I've always been an Outlook express user until Windows 7 made us change to 
Windows Live Mail. It's also a pain for those of us who just want a plain 
email program. I tried Thunderbird but that was worse.

Let me tell you how much some of us detest, deplore and despise Outlook 
Chris. I actually spent money to purchase it when I upgraded to a new 
desktop computer and Windows 7. After only a few days trying to deal with 
all the extraneous components, and the frustrating differences in layout, 
views and keyboard commands, I ditched outlook, despite the ridiculous price 
I'd paid for it, and I downloaded Windows Live mail.

So, from those of us who have truly suffered and genuinely know what we're 
talking about, as dedicated Outlook Express users, Please Chris, don't tell 
people that these two programs are "very much the same" and "easy". They are 
not and the transition, for some, is not worth the misery. It's like saying 
that a sleek little sports car and a lumbering Greyhound bus are the same. I 
jump into my little car and I zoom off to my destination. If I must take the 
bus then I am stuck with the way the bus and its service functions, along 
with all the extraneous passengers and stops I don't want or need. It's much 
the same when comparing Outlook Express and Outlook.

Regards,
Heather Field

Microsoft Outlook 2010 is very accessible and easy to use. I use it on my PC 
with JAWS, so if you have any questions on how to use it, feel free to ask. 
It's pretty easy to learn, and looks a lot like Outlook Express.
