These work across most recent versions as of March 2026. Always make sure your version of Outlook is up to date, as Microsoft continues to improve accessibility.

([sastltd.zohodesk.eu](https://sastltd.zohodesk.eu/portal/en/kb/articles/microsoft-the-windows-mail-app-has-been-replaced-with-outlook-new-app?utm_source=openai))\n\nThese shortcuts are built into New Outlook and are supported by JAWS. ([support.microsoft.com](https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/use-a-screen-reader-to-explore-and-navigate-outlook-calendar-b5fdd8af-3054-4b4c-8049-440be280d3af?utm_source=openai))\n\n---\n\n## \u2705 How to Use It with JAWS\n\n1. With Outlook open and focused, if you're in the Mail view (reading or navigating emails), press **Ctrl + 2**.  \n   - JAWS will then read out the Calendar view, starting with today's date and any events.

If you want to go back to your Inbox or email list, press **Ctrl + 1**.  \n   - JAWS will switch the focus to the Mail view. ([sastltd.zohodesk.eu](https://sastltd.zohodesk.eu/portal/en/kb/articles/microsoft-the-windows-mail-app-has-been-replaced-with-outlook-new-app?utm_source=openai))\n\n---\n\n## \u26a0\ufe0f Other Tips & Notes\n\n- Make sure you\u2019re using **New Outlook for Windows**. These shortcuts are for that version. Classic Outlook (or web Outlook) may behave differently. ([support.microsoft.com](https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/use-a-screen-reader-to-explore-and-navigate-outlook-calendar-b5fdd8af-3054-4b4c-8049-440be280d3af?utm_source=openai))  \n- Keyboard focus matters: be sure Outlook is the active window. If focus is inside a dialog or after selecting a menu, it may not respond until you exit those elements.  \n- Using the Ribbon and Navigation Pane: tab and arrow keys can be used to move around the elements once you're in a view. ([support.microsoft.com](https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/use-a-screen-reader-to-explore-and-navigate-outlook-calendar-b5fdd8af-3054-4b4c-8049-440be280d3af?utm_source=openai))\n\n---\n\nIf you tell me specifically which version of Outlook you have (e.g. `New Outlook` or `Classic Outlook` or an Office 365 version number) I can double-check shortcuts or behavior for your exact setup."
