[Trainer-talk] Outlook?

[David Goldfield]

One thing that occurs to me is that, for most home users, Outlook may be 
a bit much for just sending and receiving email.  If you're working with 
a home user with simple email requirements, Thunderbird is a great 
choice.  It's free, accessible (for the most part) and uses similar 
commands that you'll find in Outlook.  However, Outlook's calendar is 
quite good and, if you're working with someone who needs a calendar and 
who doesn't own an iOS device or other blindness-specific notetaker, 
Outlook may not be a bad choice.
