Check to see if the status box is checked in your mailboxes options. To do this do the following.
1. Press Alt for tools and the letter o for options.
2. Press Alt-c to make sure that you are in the categories list.
3. Cursor to the mailboxes option, and then tab once to the show mailbox columns status. Make sure that it is checked.
4. Press enter to save the changes and exit the options menu.
5. You may want to exit and restart Eudora.
If the sent status is not being read, then you will need to label your graphics. Even after labeling your graphics, the mailbox columns status box must be checked before the labeled graphics will be read. Hear are the instructions for labeling your graphics in Jaws.
1. While in any message list box, press Insert-v for your verbosity settings.
2. Press the letter g for graphics verbosity, and then press the spacebar until you hear Jaws say all graphics. Press enter.
3. Now, when you scroll through the list of messages, you should hear a graphic number in front of your messages. If this does not occur with your PC cursor, route Jaws to PC, and scroll with your Jaws cursor.
4. Before labeling a graphic, you must determine the status the particular graphic represents, i.e. read, unread, and so on. To do this:
a. While on any message in a list, open the context menu by pressing the applications key located just to the left of the control key on the right end of the keyboard.
b. Cursor down to the change status submenu, and press enter. You will be placed in a list box containing several status options, such as unread, read, forwarded, sent and so on.
c. Put your cursor on any of the options, such as sent, and press enter. You will be returned to the message list box, and the graphic number in front of that message will reflect the status you just changed the message to. So, if you hit enter while on sent, the graphic number in front of that message represents that the status of that message is sent.
5. Now, you can label the message. Route your Jaws cursor to your PC cursor by pressing Insert-numpad minus. Use your left and right arrow keys until you land on the graphic number in front of the message you changed.
6. Press Insert-g to go into the graphics labeler. You will be placed in an edit box which will contain the graphic number associated with the message you are sitting on. For example, the box might contain "graphic 364."
7. Press the home key to go to the beginning of the text in the box, press Shift-end to select the entire text, and press the delete key to delete it.
8. Type in the status of the message you changed, for example, sent, and press enter.
9. You will be returned to the message, and now, instead of a graphic number in front of the message, the status name will be spoken.
10. Now, go to another message in the list, and repeat steps 1 through 8, until you have labeled all of the status names you want. Sent is one of the options in the change status submenu.
