[NFBCS] Reading email on the server

[Christopher Chaltain]

Have you tried hitting control+enter to see if it comes up in it's own tab? After hitting control+enter you may have to hit alt+tab or control+tab to find the tab or window that it's in. I'm not optimistic this will help, but it's worth a try.

Hi Brian.
I am using using imap on my email on my desktop.
I don't really want the hassle of installing some email program on my laptop, because I really don't need it that often.  All I want is to be able to go to the server and read my mail there.  You're probably right; they made some change.  But it still works on my phone and old desktop, so I don't know how that works.
Tracy

Hi Tracy,

Since you mention a setting of leaving mail on the server, that sounds like you're using POP.  I'd recommend switching your email client to IMAP as it's a better protocol than POP, and leaving email on the server would also be irrelevant because IMAP gives you a real-time interaction with the server contents.

Next is the use of Firefox and Edge, so I assume the "client" you're using is a web app which might have accessibility issues. Maybe your ISP did an upgrade to the web app or maybe it behaves differently on the web browser version on your new laptop?  Lots of possibilities there, so that one has to be narrowed down.  Do you have Outlook or Mozilla Thunderbird?  You can't beat Outlook with JAWS, but Thunderbird has come a long way if you need a free solution.  Freedom Scientific and Mozilla have been working on accessibility, and the latest version is pretty decent.  Anyway, once you have an email client installed, you could reach out to your ISP support and ask for IMAP instructions.

Hope that is helpful to some degree.

Brian
