[blindlaw] Yahoo accessibility issue

[Daniel McBride]

Valerie:

My experience with Yahoo Mail is so bad that I never use it.  I utilize
Microsoft Outlook 2010, previously Microsoft Outlook.

I attempted to utilize Yahoo Mail numerous times over a period of ten years.
Navigating Yahoo Mail is so damned user unfriendly for JAWS that I just gave
up.

The NFB recently learned that a number of Yahoo Mail users have experienced
difficulty accessing e-mail features with screen readers.  The NFB is
committed to addressing these barriers and would like to provide Yahoo's
technical support staff with a detailed list of currently inaccessible
features.

If you have experienced difficulty accessing Yahoo Mail with a screen
reader, please contact me at vyingling at nfb.org<mailto:vyingling at nfb.org>.

Hi everyone,



I noticed today that Yahoo has forced everyone to use their new version and
is disallowing yahoo classic.  The new version just isn't compatible with
JAWS 13 (don't know about 14.)  Is anyone having the sime accessibility
issues as I am? I propose we flood yahoo with complaints from the blind and
get them to either make the new version compliant with JAWS or allow us to
switch back to classic (my personal preference.)



Mike
