>From the NVDA group, message #122381
<https://nvda.groups.io/g/nvda/message/122381>, regarding New Outlook:

I’ve encountered the following issue with Outlook Classic and JAWS; I didn’t try NVDA: when certain HTML messages are opened, the screen reader and Outlook become totally unresponsive for probably about a minute. I haven’t timed it, so that’s just an estimate. After that, the message becomes available for reading and navigation, and all works normally.

Since upgrading to the New Outlook for Microsoft 365, I haven’t experienced this issue, perhaps because the New Outlook is built on Web technologies, and uses the underlying browser engine’s HTML rendering capabilities, including screen reader support.

and from a private conversation I'm having with someone about New Outlook:

JAWS 2025 has a script for the New Outlook, if I recall the release notes correctly. It’s also invoked if the user runs Outlook for Web, as of the December JAWS update (again, from memory).

I don’t know what issues people are likely to run into with older versions of JAWS or New Outlook.
