Tom, you replied privately to me, which is fine, but for a couple of
reasons, I am sending this reply back to the list. One reason is I share
something others might find helpful. Secondly, hopefully someone will
advise if I need to do something different to prevent my sending multiple
messages.
Interesting about your receiving multiple messages. I always get a message
saying my message was shared; today, I got two of those. On top of that, I
receive 2 copies of messages I send to this group. It is weird for sure.
If I need to do something to change this, hopefully someone will advise. I
confirmed the "Sent to" field only has the group's address 1 time. In my
other message(s), the group's address and your personal address may have
been present. Meaning you receive 1 message from the list and a second went
straight to you.
As for renaming folders, I am happy you got it done, but apologize for the
confusion. There is something I should have explained. After you arrow
over to "Folder," when in any folder menu, and finish the task at hand, the
next time you go to any folder's menu, if you have not closed Outlook and/or
rebooted, focus will be on "Folder." So, there would be no need to arrow
right; just down arrow. So, listen to what is said after tapping Alt. If
you hear "Folder," there is no need to right arrow; just down arrow, tab
twice to "Rename Folder," etc. If after hearing "Folder," you right arrow 2
times, you will hear "Help," because it is an option, 2 positions right of
"Folder" on the menu bar. Remember, if something doesn't sound/seem right,
you can always tap Escape and start again.
Hopefully that makes sense/helps. Glad you got the folder name changed.
Again, sorry for the confusion.
Katrina

Okay.it took a little doing, but I done did it! I was confused as to
whether I had to arrow over twice to get to "folders" or what; not sure I
can even explain what I did! But now that folder has a new name and it
reads as I need it to! Thanks a bumnch!

Katrina: Afraid that's not gonna work! For one thing, I get as far as
where you said to arrow over two times (after I've gotten inside of the
folder I want to rename; it does, upon me hitting the "alt" key say
"folders. However, when I arrow over two times (I think that's what you
told me) then it says, "help!" That's not what I want, is it? Speaking of
Help.I think I need it-LOL; while I'm thinking of it, I got either three or
four copies of your message; probably a server thing, but thought you'd want
to know in case others get on you about sending duplicate messages!
Thanks,
Tom Kaufman

Tom, try the following. I recently sent these steps to a friend; she was
successful. I hope you will be as well.
Renaming Folders
1. Use Control "y" to open the list of folders.
2. Select the desired folder, or subfolder, by arrowing down or using
first-letter navigation. Remember, to access subfolders, you may have to
open the primary folder (e.g. "Recipes" is primary and "Salads" is a
subfolder. Open folders by tapping right arrow; close them via left arrow.
3. Once the desired folder/subfolder is selected, tap Enter. Focus
moves inside of that folder. If you haven't put messages in that folder, it
will be blank of course. Otherwise, focus will be on the list of messages
in that folder.
4. Open folder settings by tapping/releasing "Alt" (either button left
or right of Spacebar.
5. Arrow right 2 times; "Folder Tab" should be selected/heard.
6. Tap Down Arrow 1 time.
7. Right Arrow 2 times over until you hear/see, "action Rename Folder".
Tap Enter.
8. You will hear the original folder name. Type the new name; the old
name is erased when you type the first letter. Or, edit by moving the
cursor/deleting. If you edit, make sure the cursor is at the end of the new
folder name. If you choose not to edit, but rather just start
typing/replacing what was there, the cursor should be at the end of the new
folder name. When the cursor is at the end of the new folder name, tap
Enter, and you will be back in the list of folders.
9. In order to get JAWS to announce the new folder name, you may have
to navigate up/down the list.
10. At this point, you may want to tap Left Arrow until at the top of
folders (e.g. the Tom main folder), and arrow down 1 time to "In Box," or
use first-letter navigation (the letter "I") to select the "In Box." Once
selected, tap Enter.

Hello list: Can anyone tell me how I go about renaming a folder in Outlook
(it's an email folder) I have something spelled wrong, causing Jaws to not
say it properly (I know what the folder should say) so that's not a real big
deal; I still would like to know if I can rename it, so it Jaws Pronounces
it right! Running Windows 10 and Jaws 2024!
Thanks,
