If you're a Jaws 14 user and you label some graphics, and then Jaws 14 is updated to read the corresponding information, then it's possible that Jaws will then say this information twice.
If this occurs then you can remove the label, as described in the Removing labels section. Normally, Jaws does not read unlabelled graphics, so the first thing you have to do before you can label any graphics is to change a Jaws setting so that Jaws reads all graphics.
Some of the details of doing this depend on whether you're using Jaws 12, or Jaws 13 or later. The following is an outline of how to label an unlabelled graphic. After this, there are a number of sections which contain more details for labeling specific graphics.
When you're finished labeling graphics, change the Jaws setting back so that Jaws only reads labelled graphics. The number of each unlabeled graphic depends on the windows theme that you're using.
The following information includes the numbers for both the default windows theme and the classic theme, but if you're using a different theme then the numbers of unlabelled graphics will be different. Note that as you move to the left through the graphics, the first graphic is always a graphic then indicates whether the message is unread, or read, or something similar.
If you're using Jaws 13 or later, then Jaws reads if a message is unread, and there is no need to label the unlabeled graphic. If you're using Jaws 12, then select a message in the message list.
To make sure it's unread, open its context menu and choose mark as unread. If it's already marked as unread, then that command is unavailable. The unread graphic should be the first graphic to the left of the first name of the sender. The number of the unlabeled graphic for the default Windows theme is , and for the Windows Classic theme it's Send yourself an email with an attachment.
You may need to press F5 a couple of minutes after you've sent it to download it from the email server. The attachment graphic should be the second graphic to the left of the first name of the sender. For both the default windows 7 theme and the Windows Classic theme, the unlabeled graphic number is Send yourself an email, and then reply to that email. If you have the conversation grouping on, then by default conversations are collapsed, and so there should be a single message in the message list corresponding to these two messages.
If you press Right Arrow this expands the conversation, and the second message should then appear below the first message. If you then select and first message again, and press Left Arrow , this collapses the conversation. With the conversation collapsed, then the collapsed graphic should be the second graphic to the left of the first name of the sender. The number of the unlabeled graphic for the default Windows 7 theme is , and for the Windows Classic theme it's With the conversation expanded, then for the first message, the expanded graphic should be the second graphic to the left of the first name of the sender.
The labels of the graphics which you've manually labelled are stored in a file deep in your personal folder. If you want to remove all these labels, then you can do so by deleting this file:.
Using the ribbons Windows Live Mail uses ribbons, rather than the traditional menu bars and toolbars. Message headers An email message has to contain a number of pieces of information, like the email address of the sender, and the email address of the recipient, as well as the message itself. Main Window The main window of Windows Live Mail has 5 different main views: mail, calendar, contacts, feeds, and newsgroups.
Assuming that the Reading and Calendar panes are hidden, and the status bar is shown as described in the Hiding the Reading and Calendar panes section and the Show the status bar section of the Customizing section, the main window when viewing mail contains the following components: The title bar, which contains the name of the folder selected in the Folder tree, followed by - Windows Live Mail. A ribbon, which contains four tabs: Home, Folders, View, and Accounts.
The access keys of the tab names are H , O , V and S respectively. Folder tree , which contains your email folders such as Inbox and Sent Items. One folder is always selected, and its contents are displayed in the Message list. Search edit box. This can be used for finding messages, as described in the Searching for messages section. Message list , which is a list of the contents of the folder which is selected in the Folder tree. Status bar.
The status bar contains both the total number of messages and the number of unread messages in the folder selected in the Folder tree. In addition it also contains the text either Working Online or Working Offline. Moving around the main window To move to the ribbon press Alt , and you can use Alt or Esc to leave it. You can move between the Folder tree and the Message list by pressing Tab.
Pressing F6 cycles you round: the Folder tree, the main view buttons, the search box, and the Message list. Switching the main view There are a couple of ways of switching the main view of the main window: Press F6 until you get to the mail button, which is the first button in the group of buttons for switching the main view. Then press Down Arrow to get to the button you want, and press it. Alternatively, just press the short cut for one of the buttons.
It contains the following top level items: Quick views. This contains items which may be of use if you have more than one email account. For example, unread emails contains the unread emails in all your accounts.
One or more email accounts. Each account contains the folders used by that account, and described in detail below. By default, the name of the account in the Folder tree is formed from your email address for that account. A temporary waiting area for outgoing emails, which is used by all your email accounts Storage folders. Folders contained in the Storage folders item are suitable for messages which are not related to any particular email account.
For incoming messages. This contains messages that you saved from a new message window to send later. Sent Items. After you send a message, a copy is placed in this folder. Junk e-mail. This contains the messages which were classified as Junk by the Junk e-mail filter, which is described in the Unwanted messages section. Deleted Items. When you delete a message from a folder except this folder , a copy is saved here, just in case you change your mind.
Any other folders that you create, as described in the Folders section. However, you can use all the other standard keystrokes: As for any list, you can use these keystrokes: Up Arrow , Down Arrow , Home , and End.
Left Arrow has two uses: if you're focussed on an open folder, it closes it; else it moves you up the list to the parent folder. Right Arrow also has two uses: if you're focussed on a closed item, it opens it; else if you you're focussed on an open folder, it moves you down to the first child folder.
Message list The Message list list view contains the messages in the folder which is selected in the Folder tree. The list view is set to have a details view and for the purposes of which columns are present and so how Jaws reads each item, and how the messages are sorted, there are two groups of folders: The folders which contain messages which you've received: Inbox, Deleted Items, Junk E-mail, and any folders which you've created.
For the messages in these folders, then by default Jaws reads: who the message is from, the subject, and when it was received. By default, the messages are sorted by when they were received, with the most recent at top of the list. The folders which contain messages which have been sent or will be sent: Outbox, Sent Items, and Drafts. For the messages in these folders, then by default Jaws reads: who the message is addressed to, the subject, when it was sent or saved in the case of the Drafts folder , and the mail account which was used to send it.
By default the messages are sorted by when they were sent, with the most recent at the bottom of the list. Note that when you move to a Message list which is sorted by when it was received or sent, the focus is the most recent message, whether this is at the top or bottom of the list. The following sections describe selecting messages, tasks, sorting messages, and Conversations. For details, see the Searching for messages section. If there are no more unread messages in the current folder, then a Windows Live Mail dialog opens which tells you this, and asks you whether you want to move to the next folder with unread messages.
If you don't want to, just Tab to the No button and press it. To select more than one message, you can use the standard keystrokes for doing this, which use the Shift and Ctrl keys. Tasks There are various tasks which you can perform either in the Message list, or in the window of an opened message.
The following are examples, and most of these will be described in more detail latter in the guide: To delete one or more selected messages, press Delete. To move one or more selected messages to a folder, choose Move to folder from their context menu Application key , then V. Sorting of messages As mentioned above, by default the messages in folders containing messages you've received are sorted by the date in descending order so that the most recent message is at the top, and the messages in folders containing messages which you're sent or are about to send are sorted by the time sent in ascending order, so that the most recent message is at the bottom.
To change whether the messages in a folder are sorted in ascending or descending order: On the View tab, press the Sort order menu button, which is in the Arrangement group. The menu which opens contains the two options ascending and descending, and the current option is checked. Choose the option which you want. To change the property by which the messages in a folder are sorted: On the View tab, immediately after the Sort order menu button, there's a Sort by menu button.
Press this button. The menu which opens contains a number of properties, and you can choose one of them. Note that unfortunately Jaws reads them as all being checked. Conversations In Windows Live Mail, provided the messages are sorted by date, there is the option of grouping emails with the same subject into a conversation.
Reading messages Windows Live Mail downloads messages from your email account provider or providers: When you open the program. By default every 10 minutes when the program is open.
At any time by pressing F5. Reading message window The window contains the following components: Title bar, which contains the subject of the message. A ribbon, which contains a single tab: the message tab. A Contact's name button which in fact isn't a button, followed by an Add Contact button, if the sender isn't a contact.
A group of buttons, one for each attachment, if present. A read-only edit box for the message body. When the window opens, Jaws automatically reads the message body. These keystrokes do not change the focus — so if you're in the message body edit box when you use these keystrokes, you remain there.
To open or save an attachment, see the following sections, Opening attachments , and Saving attachment. If there are is more than one attachment, you can select a different one using Right Arrow and Left Arrow.
Press Enter. Either the attachment is opened using the appropriate program, or a Mail Attachment window opens, asking you whether you want to open this file, and this window is described in the next step. If a Mail Attachment window opens, this tells you the name and the type of the file that you are about to open, and the default button is Cancel. The purpose of the window is to alert you to the type of file you're about to open — some types can be risky to open.
Saving attachments There are two ways of saving attachments. If there's more than one attachment, you can move to another one by using Right Arrow and Left Arrow. Unfortunately, due to a Windows Live Mail bug, you can't open the attachment's context menu by pressing Application key.
Choose Save As on the menu. If necessary, change the location where you want to save the file, and then press the default Save button. The first control in the Save Attachments dialog is an Attachments list view. Initially all the attachments are selected, but if you want to save only some of the attachments, then just change the selection.
Tab to the next control. The Save To edit box contains the path of the folder where the attachments will be saved. If you're happy with that, then press Enter to press the default Save button. If you need to change where the files are saved then Tab to the Browse button, which is the next control, and press it. A Browse for Folder dialog opens. Press Enter to press the default OK button. You're returned to the Save Attachments dialog, and the focus is still the Browse button.
Tab to the Save button, and press it. Sending messages There are a number of ways of composing a message which you want to send, and they all use a message window for doing this. A ribbon, which contains three tabs: Message, Insert, and Options.
By default, the Cc and Bcc edit boxes are not shown, but if you press this button, they appear below the To edit box, and this button becomes a Hide Cc and Bcc button.
Select contacts button, which opens the Send an Email dialog. To edit box. You can use one or more of the following items to specify the recipients: email address, name of a Contact, or name of a Category. If you use more than one item, they should be separated by a semi-colon, and both Contacts and Categories are described in the Contacts section later in the guide. The Cc and Bcc edit boxes, if they're shown. A Subject edit box. An edit box for the message body.
A New Message window opens, and the focus is the To edit box. Type in one or more email address, contact, or category, and then press Tab to move to the next control. In the Subject edit box, type in a subject of the message, and then Tab to the next control. When Jaws moves to the message body edit box, it just says edit. Type in your message. If you're entering a single entry into the To, Cc or Bcc edit boxes, then: If you type in an email address which doesn't belong to one of your contacts and then press Tab , then you're moved to the next edit box.
If you type in the name of a contact or a category, and then press Tab , then a semicolon and a space are added after the name, and the focus remains in the same edit box. Press Tab to move to the next edit box.
Note that if the name isn't one of your contacts or categories, then you're moved to the next edit box, and this indicates that you got the name wrong, and need to go back and correct it. If you type in the address of one of your contacts, and then press Tab , then the address is replaced by the name of the contact, a semicolon and a space are added after the name, and the focus remains in the same edit box.
Additional information: Instead of typing in the full name of contacts and categories, Windows Live Mail can auto-complete the names of contacts and categories. For details, see the Auto-completion of contacts and categories section. An alternative way of entering contacts and categories in the To, Cc and Bcc edit boxes, is to use the Send an Email dialog. If a contact has more than one email address, then either use the Send an Email dialog or send an email using the contact list, when viewing your contacts.
A new message window opens, and two of the edit boxes have already been filled in for you: the To edit box contains the name of the sender of the original message; and the subject edit box contains the text Re: followed by the subject of the original message.
When the window opens, Jaws says the subject of the message, followed by the word edit to indicate that the initial focus is the message body edit box. So all you have to do is type in a reply. Note that by default, the original message is automatically included below the text which you type in. Note that on the Message tab, in the Respond group, there is a Forward split button. Alternatively, in the main window, you can select a message, open its context menu and choose forward.
A new message window opens, and two of the edit boxes have already been filled in for you: the subject edit box contains the text Fw: followed by the subject of the original message; and the message body edit box contains the original message. When the window opens, Jaws says the subject of the message, followed by To: edit to indicate that the initial focus is the To edit box. Type the names or addresses of who you want to forward the message to, and optionally Tab to the message body edit box and type a comment before the original message.
Forwarding messages as attachments In a message window, to forward the message as an attachment: on the Message tab, in the Respond group, there's a Forward split button. Auto-completion of contacts and categories If you start typing the name of a contact or category into the To, Cc or Bcc edit boxes, then Windows Live Mail can automatically auto-complete it. So, giving slightly more details, after you've typed in part of the name, and pressed Tab : If the text that you typed in matches the name of a least one contact or category, then the text that you've typed is replaced by the name of the first and hopefully only contact or category in the drop down list, and the focus remains in the edit box, after the name.
If this is the name that you wanted, then just Tab to the next edit box. If it's the wrong name, you delete it by pressing Backspace three times to delete a space, a semi-colon, and the name, which behaves like a single character.
If the text that you type in doesn't match any contacts, then the focus moves to the next edit box. For example, if you wanted the contact David Copperfield, then, you could type in: david, if this was your only contact with the name david. Send an Email dialog The Send an email dialog provides an alternative method of entering the names of contacts and categories into the To, Cc and Bcc edit boxes.
The dialog includes the following controls: Quick search edit box, which is the initial focus. Two buttons. List of contacts and categories. To use this dialog: Select a contact or category in the List, as described in the next section.
Press the To or Cc or Bcc button to add the selected item to the corresponding edit box. If necessary, repeat the first two steps as often as necessary. The dialog closes and you're returned to the new mail message dialog where all the contacts and categories from the To, Cc and Bcc edit boxes in the Send and Email dialog have been added to the corresponding edit boxes in that dialog.
Selecting contacts or categories in the list In the list you can select a contact or category using most of the usual keystrokes: Up Arrow , Down Arrow , Home , and End. Additional notes: If a contact has more than one email address, eg personal and business, then the contact appears multiple times. If you're in the Quick search edit box, then you can clear any text by pressing Esc , or by pressing Tab to move to the clear button, and pressing it.
You can also find a contact using it's address. You can select more than one contact or category in the list. Adding attachments On the Insert tab, in the Include group, press the Attach file button. An Open dialog opens which has the same structure as the standard Windows 7 Open dialog.
Select one or more files in the Folder view list view, and then press Enter to press the default Open button. You are returned to the new message window. The focus within the window is unchanged, but there is now an Attachments list between the Subject and message body edit boxes, and in this list you can move between items by using the arrow keys.
Note that Jaws mistakenly reads this as the message list. Old age perhaps. If necessary, you can repeat this procedure to add more attachments to the message.
Checking spelling To check the spelling of the message body press F7. The spelling dialog contains the following controls: Not in Dictionary read-only edit box.
Change To edit box, which initially contains the Spell checker's best suggestion. Suggestions list box, which contains suggested alternatives to the misspelled word. Contacts Windows Live Mail uses objects called Contacts for keeping information about a person or organisation. Ribbon, which contains a single tab, the Home tab.
Folder tree, which is only relevant for categories. Quick search edit box Contact list, which Jaws just calls a list view Status bar. Moving around the window To move to the ribbon, press Alt , and you can use Alt or Esc to leave it.
You can move between the Folder tree and the contact list by pressing Tab. Pressing F6 cycles you around the Folder tree, the group of buttons, and the Contact list.
Creating a new Contact Three ways of creating a new Contact are described in the following sections. Automatically adding people to your Contacts There's an option that after you've replied to someone three times, they're automatically added to your Contacts. Adding the sender of a message to your Contacts If someone has sent you a message, then you can add the sender of that message to your Contacts, and you can do this either in the main window, or in a message window.
In the main window: Select the message in the Message list. The first and last names and the personal email address are already filed in, so normally you can just press Enter to press the default Add contact button. Manually adding a person to your Contacts If you know someone's e-mail address, then you can add them to your Contacts manually. Sending messages using your contacts You can send messages using your contacts either in a New Message window, or in the main window when viewing your contacts.
In the main window, when viewing your contacts: In the contact list, select one or more contacts. Open the context menu, open the Send E-mail sub-menu, and if the contact has only one email address, just press Enter to choose that email address. If they have more than one email address, choose the one you want. A New Message window opens. The one or more contacts are already entered in the To edit box, and the focus is at the end of this edit box. Editing Contacts To edit a contact, select it in the contact list, and choose Edit Contact from its context menu.
The controls for the current tab. Save and Cancel buttons. Categories A category is a group of contacts, and any categories which you create appear in the Folder tree. The Create a new category dialog opens, and the first control is an edit box for the name of the category.
Type in a name, and then press Enter to press the default Save button. Adding contacts to a category In the folder tree, select either the Contacts item or a category other than the one to which you want to add contacts. Select one or more contacts in the contact list, then on the context menu, open the Copy Contact To sub menu, and choose a category.
Note that for some strange reason the Folder tree automatically becomes the focus, so if you want to add more contacts, you have to Tab back to the Contact list. Removing contacts from a category In the folder tree, select the category.
In the contact list, select one or more contacts, open the context menu, and choose Remove Contact from Category. Again, for some strange reason, the Folder tree automatically becomes the focus, so if you want to remove more contacts, you have to Tab back to the Contact list. Sending messages using categories In a new message window, you can type in the names categories, just as you would the names of contacts. Unwanted messages Windows Live Mail provides a number of ways for keeping your Inbox free of unwanted messages, and protecting you against fraud: Blocked Senders list.
If you receive a message from an address of your Blocked senders list, it's automatically moved to your Junk e-mail folder. Junk e-mail filter. Spam messages are unsolicited mass mailings which advertise cheap drugs, financial deals etc. If the Junk e-mail filter thinks a message is spam, it's moved to your Junk e-mail folder. Safe Senders list. Occasionally, messages from people you know may be moved to the Junk e-mail folder by the Junk filter. However if their address is on the Safe Senders list, then even if the Junk e-mail filter thinks it's spam, then it will stay in your Inbox.
Phishing filter. Phishing messages are unsolicited mass mailings which try and trick you into revealing bank passwords and the like. They contain a link to a website which looks genuine, but isn't. If the phishing filter detects a phishing message, it opens a dialog to warn you. Note that if you're also running an anti-virus program or an internet security program, this may quarantine the message before it even gets to the phishing filter.
Blocked Senders list If you receive a message from an address in your Blocked senders list, it's automatically moved to your Junk e-mail folder. If you've received a message from someone, and you want to add their address to the Blocked senders list, then either: In the main window, select the message in the Message list, open its context menu, open the Junk email sub-menu, and choose Add sender to blocked sender list.
In a message window: on the Message tab, in the Delete group, press the Junk split button by pressing Spacebar or Enter , and on the opened menu, choose Add sender to blocked sender list. Junk e-mail filter If the Junk e-mail filter detects one or more junk spam messages then as well as moving them to the Junk E-mail folder, it opens a Windows Mail dialog telling you that Windows Mail has downloaded a message that appears to be junk email. The Options page of the Safety Options dialog contains three controls: A group of radio buttons for setting the level of protection provided by the filter.
Setting such a filter is always a compromise: the higher the level of protection, the more likely legitimate e-mails will end up in the Junk e-mail folder, and so the greater the frequency which you'll have to check the e-mails in this folder. By default, this is unchecked. Safe Senders list If you receive a message from someone who's on your safe senders list, then even if the Junk E-mail filter thinks it's junk, it won't be moved to your Junk E-mail folder.
If you've received a message from someone, and you want to add their address to the Safe Senders list, then either: In the main window, select the message in the Message list, open its context menu, open the Junk email sub-menu, and choose Add sender to safe sender list.
In a message window: on the Message tab, in the Delete group, press the Junk split button by pressing Spacebar or Enter , and on the opened menu, choose Add sender to safe sender list. Phishing filter Unfortunately, the author of this guide hasn't had any phishing emails to test out the Phishing filter in Windows Live Mail. Searching for messages Windows Mail provides two ways of searching for messages.
Search in the main window The following instructions are for searching the messages in the current folder, and how to search all your messages is described below. Alternatively, if you're in the Message list, then when you start to type in the search terms in the next step, then you're automatically moved to the Search edit box. Type one or more words or the beginnings of words. For each message in the Message list, each of the search terms is matched against the text in all the message headers, and the message body.
You can search for an exact phrase by enclosing it in quotation marks. Press Down Arrow to move to the Message list which contains the results of the search. You can clear the contents of the Search box by pressing Esc , but for reasons unknown this also automatically moves you to the Folder tree. The above method for searching the current folder can be easily modified to search in all your folders: After you typed some text into the Search box, then a Search in menu button is displayed next to it.
This menu button is included in the controls which you can move to using the F6 key, so after you've typed in your search terms, press F6 to move to the Search in menu button. Press the menu button, and choose All mail. Your automatically moved back to the Search edit box, from where you can press Down Arrow to move to the results in the Message list.
Pressing Esc both clears the Search box, and removes the Search in menu button, restoring the Message list to display the messages in the current folder. A Find Message dialog opens, and the controls in this dialog are described in detail below. If necessary, change the folder to be searched, and set the criteria for the search using one or more of the controls. Press Enter to press the default Find Now button. You are moved to a Message list list view which appears at the bottom of the dialog box, and contains the messages found by the search.
You can open a selected message by pressing Enter , and there are several other actions available on its context menu. To perform another search, just Tab to the controls for setting the search criteria and start again. You can clear all the criteria by pressing the New Search button, and close the Find Message dialog by pressing Esc.
This is a detailed description of the controls in the Find Message dialog: Three controls for selecting the folder or folders which are searched: A read only edit box which contains the name of the folder to be searched.
By default, this is current selected folder. A Browse button, which opens a Windows Live Mail dialog. In the Folder list tree view, select the folder or the account you want to search, and then press Enter to press the default OK button.
Four edit boxes: From, To, Subject, and Message. Enter any text to be searched. Two Date-time picker controls for Received after, and Received before. Note that due to a Windows Live Mail bug, the Received before control gives incorrect search results, and therefore shouldn't be used. When you move to one of these controls, the initial focus is a check box which indicates whether this criteria is active in the search, and by default it's unchecked.
It can be toggled in the usual way using Spacebar , but unfortunately, Jaws does not read the state of this check box. However, you can tell whether it's checked by pressing Left Arrow or Right Arrow : if unchecked, then nothing happens; if checked, then you cycle round the fields of the date and the check box. To change one of the date fields, either type in a number, or use Up Arrow or Down Arrow.
Two check boxes: Message has attachment s , and Message is flagged. Folders If you keep a large number of messages, it's often useful to organise them in to folders. Creating a folder To create a new folder: In the Folder tree, select the folder in which you want to create the new folder. Often you'll want to select an account, so that the new folder is at the same level as the standard folders, such as the Inbox.
Open the folders context menu, and choose New folder. In the Create Folder dialog, type a name for the new folder. If you Tab to the next control, you'll find it's a tree view for specifying where you want the folder created. The folder you selected in the Folder tree should already be selected. Moving messages to a folder You move messages to a folder using the Move dialog, and you can do this either in the main window or in a message window. If you're in the main window, then to move one or more selected messages to a folder: Choose Move to folder on the context menu of the selected message or messages Application Key, V.
A Move dialog opens. In the folder list tree view, select the desired destination folder, and then press Enter to press the default OK button. If you're in a message window, then how to open the accessible version of the dialog depends on whether or not you're using the Jaws virtual ribbon: If you're using the Jaws virtual ribbon, then on the Message tab, in the Actions group, press the Move to button. If you're not using the Jaws virtual ribbon, then if you press the Move to button mentioned above in the normal manner, then this opens the inaccessible version of the dialog.
You then have to press Numpad Plus to return to the PC cursor. Of course an alternative is just to close the message, and move the message in the main window. Message rules A message rule automatically applies one or more actions to incoming messages which match one or more conditions. New Mail Rule dialog The New Mail Rule dialog contains four controls for specifying the rule: list views for the conditions and actions, a Rule Description edit box which enables you to further specify the conditions and actions, and a Rule name edit box where you can type in a meaningful name for the rule.
Select the Conditions for your rule list view This contains check boxes for the possible conditions, and unfortunately Jaws doesn't read the name of this list view. Select the Actions for your rule list view This contains check boxes for possible actions, and again Jaws does not read the name of the list view. Rule description edit box. One line for each condition which you checked. One line for each action which you checked. Whenever there's any text in this edit box, the default button is temporarily the Add button.
Pressing the Add button adds the word or phrase to the Words list box described below, clears the edit box, and the default button reverts to the OK button.
A Words list box. Subsequent items are the words or phrases which you've added. Remove and Options buttons, which are associated with the Words list box. You can remove an item by selecting it and then either pressing Delete or the Remove button.
The Options button gives you yet more options, as you might have guessed. Type in the phrase Mark Twain, and press Enter to press the Add button. Press Enter to press the OK button. You are returned to the Rule Description edit box. This has a structure similar to the Type Specific words dialog described above, and contains the following controls: An edit box, into which you can type either the name or email address of a person, and an associated Add button.
Pressing this button, adds the name or email address to the People list box described below, and clears the edit box, thus changing the default button back to the OK button. A People list box. A Contacts button which opens a Send an Email dialog, which allows you to use your Contacts to specify email addresses.
This is a slightly simplified version of the Send an Email dialog which can be used for entering contacts in a new message.
In this dialog, select a contact, press the To button Spacebar , and then press the OK button. Remove and Options buttons, which are associated with the People list box.
The Options button gives you yet more options. Message rules dialog The Mail rules page of the Message rules dialog contains a list of the existing rules, some buttons for creating and managing rules, and an edit box containing a description of the rule selected in the list of rules.
Giving some more detail, the dialog contains the following controls: A list view which contains a check box for each existing rule. If the check box is checked, then the rule is active, otherwise the rule is turned off.
The rules are applied to an incoming message in the order of the rules in this list view. A number of buttons: New button, which opens a New Mail Rule dialog for creating a new rule, and which was described above. Modify button, which is used for modifying the rule selected in the list view.
Copy button, which creates a copy of the rule selected in the list view, and places it immediately below the original rule in the list. Remove button, which deletes the selected rule, though it's easier just to press Delete. Apply now button, which is used for applying one or more of the rules to the existing messages in one or more of the folders.
It opens an Apply mail rules now dialog. Move Up and Move Down button, which are used for moving the selected rule up and down the list respectively. Rule description edit box, which contains a description of the rule selected in the list view.
See the section above on the Rule description edit box for more details. Email accounts This section describes how to manually add email accounts to Windows Live Mail and manage them.
