select the first person you want to send to by typing the first few
letters of their

be displayed and your screen reader will say too edit combo blank. to
tell thunderbird
we want this box to be a CC box, press shift tab once and use your
arrows to select the option you'd like CC, BCC, etc. when you have
selected the right
option, press tab back to the edit box. instead of too edit combo, your
screen reader should now say BCC edit combo or the option you picked.
find the
person you'd like to add to the email by typing their name, and press
enter again if you'd like to select a third person to send to. keep
doing this until
you've selected all the people you'd like to send to. then tab to
subject, fill in the box and press tab to the main message box. type
your message and
press control enter to send.
to access settings for example to request a read receipt, when writing
your message, press alt P for the message options menu and tick the
option you'd
like to enable, for example request read receipt.
to attach a file to a message, press control shift A when you're writing
your message. a file browse box will open and allow you to select the
file you'd
like to send.
to view attachments, go in to the message that has an attachment. press
alt M for the message menu, then press H for attachments, and the files
that are
attached to the message will be displayed. press enter on the one you'd
like to open or save, and then arrow to the option you'd like i.e open,
save etc.
to search for a particular sender, In any folder, press control shift K.
this will take you to an edit box where your screen reader will say
filter edit.
type in a keyword to filter your messages, such as Joe Blogs for example
so it filters all the messages specifically from JB. then press tab to
get to the list. when done looking for that message, press shift tab
to get back to the filter box, then press escape twice to close the box.
Note: if you do not do this, thunderbird will continue only displaying
messages
from JB.
