Thanks for the T-bird info; I'll keep it around for anyone who doesn't care to spend the money for Outlook.
BTW, one option you have for the Outlook calendar is to have it show your appointments in a list (just like a list of emails), and this is my preferred way of doing things; I do know WE users who have it show in a traditional calendar display, but the list works for me, and Outlook does all the tricky stuff of telling you if you're trying to schedule a conflict, etc. Outlook will even tell you, given parameters such as what days of week and what time, and what people are involved, and how long, it will come back with a list of times when everyone can get together. In corporate environments it will also keep track of conference rooms, projectors, and other shared resources. Anyway, glad you got what you want for email.

Actually, I just went through the nasty rapids of installing and configuring MozillaThunderbird, and I'm pretty cool with it. Just to let you know, what is new to me about this app over Windows Live Mail is it's numerous options of replying to messages, and things of this nature. It really seems to be the hobbiest's choice in an e-mail app, which I guess is open source in a nutshell. It's worth installing and checking it out, if for no other reason than curiosity and knowledge gain. What I love the most over WLM is it's traditional pull-down menu system, both in the main app window as well as in the message window. Configuring the e-mail is a cinch, once you trust the app to do the job for you. I'm glad Outlook works for you and your wife; I would have to see the calendar-type functions of Outlook for myself before I believe it, but I know GW Micro has done a lot of work with it to make it accessible. For me for now, I'm just happy to be able to write an e-mail without having to use Notepad and do cut and paste. :) Anyway, Chip, thanks again, and take care, Rod :) On 4/23/13 9:30 PM, Chip Orange wrote: > Hi again Rod, > > > > Well, already answered most of this as I'm reading messages out of order. > > > > > > Any accessibility issues for Outlook 2010 have been dealt with by a GW app > called Outlook Enhance, which I highly recommend (I'm not sure if it's being > included with the WE distribution or not). > > > > One point: I think you can buy Outlook alone, you don't have to buy an > Office suite I don't think; and, my own opinion, I'd buy 2010 if you still > can (just because it probably has more of its issues worked-out with WE than > 2013 does yet).
