[BlindTlk] email service recommendations

[Raul Gallegos - NAGDU]

Hello Sarah, adding to what Curtis says below, I would also like to
recommend a program called Thunderbird. This is a free email client for
Windows. The thing about Thunderbird that you should be aware of, is that it
has a slightly higher learning curve when compared to Outlook. However, it
is free and it works great and is used widely by many blind people.
You can download the latest Thunderbird for Windows from the following link.

en-US

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.
