Re: [orca-list] Navigating Thunderbird with Orca



No reason to speculate when you can just look it up with Google. Mozilla stopped adding new functionality to Thunderbird across all platforms. It's not just a Linux statement. Here's one of many such articles on the web http://www.cnet.com/news/mozillas-thunderbird-not-dead-but-sort-of-on-life-support/

hi
I suspect only linux, but not sure. I kind of doubt mozilla would end
support for anything on windows, since they get money from microsoft,
and yahoo.
No proof whatsoever though, just what I think
Thanks

Do you know whether this ending of support concerns only
Thunderbird for Linux, or also Thunderbird for other operating
systems?

hi I suspect numerous accessibility bugs in thunderbird itself,
actually. Typing in messages can be extremely slow, eventually
grinding to a hault, causing orca to no longer announce new
characters, or be able to navigate. If a debug log is needed I
can provide one. The message lag is well known and has already
been filed with thunderbird developers. I think they're working
on a fix. i didn't know about the alt 1 shortcut, I'll try that
next time thunderbird decides not to read with orca.

Part of the problem is that Thunderbird is officially being
maintained only for bug fixes (including security). Mozilla all
but dropped support for it.

I still think Mutt is the best mail solution under Linux at this
point, except possibly one of the Emacs clients.

In fact, I think Mutt is better than anything I have used under
any operating system so far as mail handling is concerned.
