With attachments though, I had to use
mouse (flat review ) and click on the save button.
Other than that, Thunderbird is just perfect for my needs.
Happy hacking.

forgot to mention that another standard key you can use in
Thunderbird is the application key which will bring up the context
menu for whatever object you're on, such as a link within a
message or the message itself.

I use Thunderbird, and I'm pretty sure I
just use the default settings for the most part, and I never use

or others can help, but I'm not aware of a getting started or
how to for a blind user and Thunderbird.
Basically, you have your list of accounts, which you can arrow
through using up and down arrow keys. When you're on the account
who's mail you want to read, tab over once to get to your list
of folders and again you can up and down arrow to move through
the list and use left and right arrows to open and close sub
folders. When you get to the folder you want, such as your In
Box, tab over once to get into your list of messages in that
folder. There's a Mozilla bug where this list will get corrupt
over time, so you want to be careful to check your message
before moving or deleting anything.
I just use the preview pane to read my messages, and the F6 key
will take you to the top of the message text from the list of
messages. Orca+; (That's a semi-colon.) will read the rest of
the message, but you can also use the arrow keys to navigate
around the message.
Your standard Thunderbird short cut keys will work, so when
you're in a message you can delete it with the delete key, move
to the next message with the 'f' key and move to the next unread
message with the 'n' key. Sometimes you need to use
Orca+backspace to pass these keys through Orca into Thunderbird.
I hope this helps.

I help a completely blind person who has
been getting email with dedicated software for windows that
has stopped working because of POP credentialling issues. I
want to see if I can help them change to Vinux with ORCA and a
supported mail client. I found Thunderbird a bit daunting in
its default state.
I am hoping list members might suggest:
a more keyboard oriented client,
Ways to configure thunderbird to make it easier to use with
ORCA,
Or lastly, with apologies, a more appropriate place to
explore Linux mail clients for the blind.
