Yes, am using it with Orca 3.1.2 and finding that the accessibility hierarchy of mailbox lists and the 
mailbox list itself it not being updated. To be clear, whenever I open or close a list of mailboxes for an 
account on the left, Orca doesn't notice that a list has been expanded, and reads the other top level 
elements in that list. Only when I keep arrowing down through mailboxes does it start to read the correct 
mailbox names, and when I arrow back up, it still doesn't read the top mailboxes in the list.

I get similar behavior in the mailbox index list view, not all authors/subject lines get read properly, i.e 
one of the previous message subjects/authors gets spoken even though it is not selected.

Hope that all makes sense, had a busy day, and my brain is somewhat fried atm.
