Using Microsoft Outlook Express accessibility features

In addition to Microsoft Windows, Windows NT, and Windows 95 accessibility products and services, the following features make Microsoft Outlook Express more accessible for people with disabilities:

Sound notification of new messages

You can choose to be notified by a sound when new mail messages arrive.

Resizable message and folder lists

You can customize how messages and message lists are displayed. You can display messages in a preview pane, and split the window horizontally or vertically between the message list and the preview pane. Or you can display only the message list.

Customizable toolbars

You can easily change the toolbar to display the buttons you use most. And you can move the toolbar to any side of the screen. Click the View menu and then click Layout to change the toolbar to meet your needs.

Keyboard access

All features in Microsoft Outlook Express are accessible by the keyboard or the mouse. Outlook Express supports Dvorak keyboard layouts, which make the most frequently typed characters more accessible.
