After some recent computer issues, yesterday, I upgraded to a new computer and was able to set it up with Windows 11, JAWS 2024, and Office 365 without any issues. However, I’ve run into some trouble with Outlook. Here’s a brief overview of the situation:<o:p></o:p></p><ol style='margin-top:0in' start=1 type=1><li class=MsoNormal style='mso-list:l2 level1 lfo3'><b>Outlook Options</b>: When I searched for "Outlook" in the start menu, I was presented with "Outlook New," which is the new app currently discussed. I am aware that this new version does not work as well with JAWS. I thought it would be best to continue using "Outlook Classic," which I’ve used successfully for years, but I couldn’t find this option. With time, I figured I’d transition to the new Outlook, if that was the thing to do. I figured I could set the new app up with a different email address for practice.<o:p></o:p></li><li class=MsoNormal style='mso-list:l2 level1 lfo3'><b>Uninstallation and Reinstallation</b>: I inadvertently opened "Outlook New" but exited before setting anything up. Following this, I contacted the Microsoft Disability Line for assistance. The rather impatient and sometimes rude representative helped me by uninstalling and reinstalling Office, but in the process, the newer Outlook app was removed. He thought it was easier for him to do that removal. At times, I wasn’t able to understand everything he was saying, and by the time he was removing the app, it was too late to do anything about it. I was told by the representative that "Outlook Classic" would remain available indefinitely, and that I shouldn’t worry. This raises a few questions for me.<o:p></o:p></li><li class=MsoNormal style='mso-list:l2 level1 lfo3'><b>Current Confusion</b>: I’m now unsure whether I should try to reinstall the new Outlook app or continue using "Outlook Classic" for the time being. The information I received was conflicting. I was told that "Outlook New" was not part of Office and that it replaced the Windows Mail app and is a permanent feature, but I’m unclear on the purpose of the new app if "Outlook Classic" is still available.<o:p></o:p></li></ol><p class=MsoNormal>Could someone please clarify the following:<o:p></o:p></p><ul style='margin-top:0in' type=disc><li class=MsoNormal style='mso-list:l1 level1 lfo6'><b>Is "Outlook Classic" indeed going to be available long-term, or is there a planned phase-out?</b><o:p></o:p></li><li class=MsoNormal style='mso-list:l1 level1 lfo6'><b>Should I reinstall "Outlook New" now or wait until it becomes more compatible with JAWS?</b><o:p></o:p></li><li class=MsoNormal style='mso-list:l1 level1 lfo6'><b>What is the intended purpose of the new Outlook app, and how should I approach this transition?</b><o:p></o:p></li></ul><p class=MsoNormal>Your guidance on how to proceed would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance for your assistance.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Jim<o:p></o:p></p></div></body></html>
