RE: https://mastodon.social/@freedomscientific/116455940015759667 I disagree with this post. I have been testing the new Outlook extensively recently, and in my opinion it is simply not a tool that any blind person can use to get work done efficiently at present. I have communicated this view clearly to Microsoft, and to their credit, we’re working with them on it, but popping in and out of the virtual cursor, working out when to do it and what mode to be in, is not an acceptable or intuitive solution. Key things are still missing from the Context Menu, and it is talking far too much. I have yet to be convinced that the current user interface can be made to work with the same degree of efficiency as the one we have in Outlook Classic, but if it can happen, we are a long way from it happening. My Recommendation would be that if you are the kind of person who likes to kick the tires on things that are alpha, check out the accessibility of New Outlook and report detailed constructive feedback to Microsoft so we can make it better. Right now though, it is far from where it needs to be and we need to make that clear before they take the old Outlook away and damage our productivity.
