I'm using mate myself, and have as my primary desktop for sever months. Sales pitch aside, I don't know of a mate specific email program, only thunderbird. I've had very good results with the mate devs, on #mate on freenode. They fix accessibility bugs usually promptly. Some of the stuff I thought were bugs were in fact user error on my part, so I eventually figured those out. The desktop, panels, etc are all accessible, except the top one.
I've also done the switch recently. Even though I know that lots of the a11y-work is done in GNOME and Mate benefits from it, I find Mate much faster, more stable and better organized. I am not a regular GUI user, therefore the only bug I found is that Orca says "not selected" when an item is selected. But that's it. So for _now_ it is the better work environment for me. @Jean-Philippe: It is no problem to install Mate side by side with GNOME 3, on my Debian unstable box it was only about: apt-get install mate echo "exec mate-session" > ~/.xinitrc startx DISPLAY=:0 gsettings set org.mate.interface accessibility true (kill the X session on the console with Ctrl+c and start it again) HTH Sebastian -- Web: http://www.crustulus.de | Blog: http://www.crustulus.de/cgi-bin/blog.cgi?de-0 Freies Latein-Deutsch-Wörterbuch: http://www.crustulus.de/freedict.de.html FreeDict: Free multilingual dictionary databases - http://www.freedict.org
