Hi Ashley,

I don't know about some of the other features offered by the full
program, but I recently worked on fixing a bug that rendered the
log-in page of Microsoft 365 webmail inaccessible to screenreader
users.  The only way you could get the edit boxes to show up was to
clear all your cookies and things out of your browser and use pass
through mode, a feature that most screenreaders don't know about, let
alone know how to use.

Anyway, they are fixing the problem.  I have found all other features
of Microsoft Webmail to be accessible, though screenreaders do have to
use the Lite version.  But I know this is only one component of the
Microsoft 365 programs.  Thanks.
