[nabs-l] email clients for Windows 7

Hi Amy and everyone,

As you probably know, I am subscribed to many lists on my 
personal email.  So, at the beginning of this semester, I created 
a separate Gmail account exclusively for school, and gave the 
email address only to my teachers, my IA, and to my TVI.  This 
helps me separate my school emails from list emails, which is a 
lot easier than trying to sort through all the list emails to get 
to the one or two emails from school.  This has worked very well 
for me, and I would suggest it to anyone on this list who is 
having problems with their inaccessible college email service.  
In other words, I would suggest creating a separate Gmail account 
(or whatever email service you are comfortable using) for school 
emails, then set your email for your college to forward to your 
accessible school email account.  Hope this helps! Merry 
Christmas, everyone!

Chris

Hello Katie and all,

As to forwarding all of your school's email to your personal
account is very fine indeed.  When I was at ucd which is the
university of Colorado at Denver I did this since their webmail
service wasn't accessible with jfw and, this worked out fine with
using the Comcast webmail feature.  But, when I transferred to
metro state college in Denver I just used their web mail feature
which was okay...

But, now the Comcast webmail site isn't accessible with jfw
anymore and, I'm using windows 7 on my laptop I decided to use ms
office outlook.  It works pretty well with jfw with some playing
around.

Anyway, I hope this is helpful for you.  Take care and, I will
talk to you all soon!



Happy holidays,
>From amy

Hi Katie,
I used to have my school email auto-forward to my Gmail and this
worked fine for me for several years.  I decided to change 
because
I
like having a little separation between my school/work and
personal/fun email.  Also, I occasionally had to post messages on
school-related listservs from my school email address.  But for
the
most part, forwarding everything to Gmail worked fine.

 Thanks for all the suggestions! Thunderbird sounds like a very
 promising solution.  Does it have keyboard shortcuts for things
like
 creating, replying to, and forwarding mail? Is the address book
 feature user-friendly? Like Arielle I also use the basic html
web
 version for gmail but need an email client for my university
email
 account.  Of course, I could potentially have my university mail
 automatically forwarded to my gmail account, which I hear is a
common
 practice among my fellow students.

 Carley,
 Eudora is eudora regardless of what operating system you have.
So how
 do you
 like it? Are there keystrokes for all the clicking a mouse
does.
 Like do you press control N for new message?

 Hi, I use an ancient, version of both the OS and Eudora.  As ai
said,
 I didn't realize you'all were talking about using Eudora, with
W7.
 Sorry for the confusion!

Carley,
I've thought about getting that.  Can you explain? Is eudora
for
 purchase?
Can you still sort email into folders? Does it have a menu
system?

Without having experienced any other email clients, I hear
Eudora is
buy far, the simplest.  Not exactly fancy or particularly
modern, it
cannot be beat in simplisity.  At 10:15 AM 12/9/2011, Katie

Hi all,
I have been using Windows XP until very recently and always
used
Outlook Express as my primary email client, as I prefer its
simple
interface.  However, I just purchased a new computer running
Windows
 7,
and, as you know, this easy-to-use email tool is no longer
available.
I switched to using MS Office Outlook 2010, and although it
is
definitely accessible with JAWS, I found the interface much
more
complicated and cumbersome.  I am aware that I'm still in the
process
of getting used to a new program and may come to like it
better over
time, but I was wondering whether anyone has had similar
experiences?
For those of you using Windows 7 computers, do you use MS
Office
Outlook, or would you recommend an alternative email program?
Thanks!
Katie
