Re: [orca-list] Mail client

["B. Henry" <burt1iband gmail com>]

I've never, ever seen anything like you speak of. 
With the exception of a couple of bad releases that were not accessible, one way back in 3.1 days, I've never 
seen accessiblity problems as a rule except 
for a period when several releases had the issue with msg body not being in syncd with name in msg list, msg 
list was read wrong in other words much of the 
time. 
That has been fixed for over a year now, maybe over two years, and when it was not fixed in the release 
version I got a nightlyl build that worked and just 
stuck with it. I keep that nightly release around just in case something breaks again, and with firefox as 
well I try to keep a copy of last known good 
accessible build around till I'm sure the latest release works correctly with orca, and then swap that for 
the old backup. 
You just are not setting something right I dare say in evolution if you can't work with gmail. 
GMail uses pretty standard configurations, and I can't believe you can't set evolution to work with it. Last 
I looked, evolujtion did not have automatic 
configuration like thunderbird does, or if it did I missed it, so one did have to enter some settings 
manually.
Which Vinux with which thunderbird has not worked for you?
There are no issues I know of with vinux5 and the default thunderbird that comes with it, and I use it with 
gmail, yahoo, two news servers, four chat 
services, and a google aps gmail instance.
Vinux4 did have a build that had that msg body to msg list sync issue, so I didn't use it much there. Don't 
remember if that ever got fixed before I 
stopped using vinux4, but seem to remember having installed a nightly build there before moving to vinux5.
