[BlindTlk] email service recommendations

[Curtis Chong]

Greetings, Sarah:

 

I am not myself a user of Windows Mail, but I do use and strongly recommend the use of Outlook 365 to send and receive email on a Windows computer. Yes, I do understand that this is not a free choice. One has to pay at a minimum around $70 a year for a Microsoft 365 license. But if a blind person is employed anywhere, Outlook is used by a very large number of employers and works quite nicely with both JAWS and NVDA.

 

As for processing your Gmail email on your phone, the Apple Mail program works quite nicely on the iPhone.

 

Please don't hesitate to write with any additional questions, and if you want to get in touch with me directly, send email to chong.curtis at gmail.com.

 

Warm regards,

 

Curtis Chong

Good morning. I have a gmail account and use windows mail on my computer. The new outlook will soon replace windows mail. Is there a way to set up gmail in a similar way to windows mail without having to view the emails from the gmail website? Are there any other alternatives to outlook? I also use the mail app on my iPhone. How do you delete an email without opening it? Is there a braille display command to do that? For email, would it be better to just use my brailleSense 6, especially when I need to send an attachment? Thank you.
