[NFBCS] Silencing New Message Notifications in Windows Mail

[Jim Denham]

Peter:

You will want to turn this off in Notifications, which is under Windows settings. 
Open Settings with Windows I.
Select System.
Choose Notifications and Actions.
In this dialog, just tab until you find Windows Mail. 
Be aware, there are two listings for each app. The first just lists the name of the app. The second is the on/off switch for that app.
So, when you find Windows Mail, tab to the second entry and press space to turn notifications for this app to off.
You will no longer receive notifications for Windows Mail.
Hope this helps.
Jim

Subject: [NFBCS] Silencing New Message Notifications in Windows Mail

Good morning everyone,

	We recently activated Windows Mail on our desktops as a backup mail program should we continue to have issues with Outlook. We need to know how to shut up Jaws so it doesn't announce new message arrivals when they come in. We know that these notifications are from Windows Mail. This does not happen with Outlook. How to we configure Jaws 2021 to stop the Windows Mail new message notifications from being read every time mail arrives. Help with this will be very much appreciated.
