[gui-talk] Seeking Webmail accessibility advice

[Joel Deutsch]

I now have a laptop to complement my desktop computer, and I'd of course 
love to have email on it.

Now, the desktop is linked to my ISP's mail server by a POP 3 arrangement 
which I somehow learned how to set up.

I know there's also IMAP, but for this discussion, let's forget about that 
as a solution. What I'd really like is if I could simply establish a regular 
gmail account for both, so it wouldn't interfere in any way with the email 
on my desktop.

But I've poked around the gmail interface, because that's exactly what my 
ISP uses for there online mail server. And like many Jaws users, I find it 
awfully difficult to navigate and use, whether I put it in HTML mode or the 
so-called Regular mode, interface-wise. I have difficulty with either of 
them, and a few different problems from one to the other.

But maybe gmail has become a little more screen reader friendly, and I don't 
know it? As far as I understand, it's at least better than Yahoo mail to 
begin with. Anyone using gmail regularly, and if so in what interface mode, 
and can you give me any pointers or even point me to some Jaws directions 
online? That, of course, would be great.

Thanks,
Joel
