[Blindtlk] email software suggestions

[Judy Jones]

Hey, Jude, sorry for the delayed reply.

The answer is "no," because Google doesn't see Windows as a viable platform
and as a result, not even the Windows phone has a Gmail client.

The only thing for windows is for one to log onto the web and check their
email, but I believe there's a Chrome plugin called "Notifier for GmailT"
that would notify one of email messages on the desktop.
The plugin is located at:

google has been writing many apps down through the years.  Did it ever write
one specifically for gmail that runs on windows that's also accessible?
