[Nfbmo] Best email system for screen readers

[Gregory Hanson]

Dan,

I have been using outlook express which comes included in internet explorer 
and it works fine for all those things you are concerned about.  Most of the 
services allow you to download your mail right into outlook express and it 
works wonderfully with JAWS.

Check it out...
