> Hi everyone,

> As my use of Gmail continues, I'm quickly realizing the limitations of
> Basic HTML mode, which happens to be the only accessible view of
> Gmail. The problem is that some of Gmail's features that would make
> life a lot easier for me, especially with the account I've created for
> the I C.A.N. Foundation, which I'm actively involved in, are not
> available in the basic HTML view. For example, sending a message to
> all contacts and checking the boxes for all email so I can clean out
> my Inbox. I never thought I would ask this, as Gmail's very accessible
> for the features I need in my personal email... but is Microsoft
> Outlook more accessible than Gmail's Web interface? What, in your
> opinion, are the pros and cons of Outlook vs Gmail's Web interface?
> Are all the features of Outlook accessible to JAWS, including the
> features of Gmail that only appear in standard view? I've heard that
> Outlook doesn't exist on Windows 7 computers, but my friend Gary (who
> I'm sending this email to) has a laptop running Windows 7, much like
> mine, and has Outlook 2007. How do I install that? Is Windows Live
> Mail on Windows 7 accessible? I'm sorry, I know I'm full of questions,
> but I'm just trying to learn all I can about Outlook's accessibility
> compared to Gmail's, so I can make an informed decision on whether I
> should just configure all my Gmail accounts for Outlook. Thanks for
> any help!
