Below are steps and tips to set up application-specific configurations in JAWS for Outlook Classic, so you get behavior tailored to your needs when using that app.\n\n---\n\n## What JAWS Offers: Application-Specific Settings & Script Files\n\n- **Application-specific script files**: JAWS supports \u201c.jss\u201d script files for particular applications. These provide custom interactions\u2014commands, verbosity, behavior\u2014that load only when the specified application is active. ([support.freedomscientific.com](https://support.freedomscientific.com/content/documents/other/scriptmanual/03-1_jawsscriptsandscriptfiles.htm?utm_source=openai))  \n- **Manage Application-Specific Settings**: In JAWS you can turn on/off or delete stored settings and custom configurations for individual applications. ([support.freedomscientific.com](https://support.freedomscientific.com/support/technicalsupport/bulletin/1656?utm_source=openai))  \n\nSo, what you\u2019ll do is define a JAWS configuration specifically for Outlook Classic so that those settings apply only in Outlook, and don\u2019t affect other apps.\n\n---\n\n## Steps to Set Up Application-Specific JAWS Configuration for Outlook Classic\n\nHere\u2019s a step-by-step guide:\n\n1. Open **Outlook Classic** so that JAWS can detect it as the active application.\n\n2. Press **INSERT+J** to open the JAWS main menu.\n\n3. Navigate to **Options \u2192 Manage Application Settings**. ([support.freedomscientific.com](https://support.freedomscientific.com/support/technicalsupport/bulletin/1656?utm_source=openai))  \n   - In that dialog, you\u2019ll see a list of application names that currently have custom settings stored.\n   - If \u201cOutlook\u201d or a name tied to Outlook Classic appears (sometimes \u201cOUTLOOK.EXE\u201d or similar), you can:\n     - **Enable/disable** its custom settings by checking/unchecking the box.\n     - **Remove** the custom config entirely via the Remove option. That resets Outlook to using default JAWS behaviors. ([support.freedomscientific.com](https://support.freedomscientific.com/support/technicalsupport/bulletin/1656?utm_source=openai))\n\n4. To create or modify Outlook-specific settings:\n   - While Outlook is active, open the **Settings Center** (INSERT+6).\n   - Make any changes you want (speech verbosity, reading of lists, navigation behavior, etc.).\n   - Those changes will be remembered *specifically* for Outlook, as long as they differ from the default and the Outlook app is active when you change them.\n\n5. If needed, you can create a **script file** for Outlook:\n   - Use a JAWS script file named something like `OUTLOOK.JSS` and place it in one of JAWS\u2019 shared or user settings folders. ([support.freedomscientific.com](https://support.freedomscientific.com/content/documents/other/scriptmanual/03-1_jawsscriptsandscriptfiles.htm?utm_source=openai))  \n   - In that `.jss` file, write scripts or overrides for commands specific to Outlook behavior.\n\n---\n\n## Using Outlook Email Profiles and Their Relation\n\nSide note: Outlook itself supports multiple email profiles (these are collections of email accounts/data files, not JAWS settings). You can have separate Outlook profiles\u2014like \u201cWork\u201d vs \u201cPersonal\u201d\u2014and make Outlook prompt which to use at startup. ([support.microsoft.com](https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/overview-of-outlook-email-profiles-9073a8ac-c3d6-421d-b5b9-fcedff7642fc?ad=us&rs=en-us&ui=en-us&utm_source=openai))\n\nBut JAWS settings do not automatically align with a particular Outlook email profile\u2014you\u2019ll need to rely on the *application context* (i.e. Outlook app) to trigger the app-specific JAWS settings.\n\n---\n\n## What You\u2019re Not Able to Do\n\n- JAWS doesn\u2019t allow you to tie different voice profiles or verbosity rules to different Outlook email profiles directly (i.e. separate sets per Outlook account setup).  \n- JAWS app settings work per application (like \u201cOutlook Classic\u201d), not per *email account within Outlook*.\n\n---\n\nIf you want, I can walk you through writing a basic `.jss` script example for Outlook, or help you adjust JAWS settings like verbosity and list reading tailored for your Outlook setup. Do you want me to provide that?"
