Re: [orca-list] best eMail client for Orca

[Christopher Chaltain <chaltain gmail com>]

I'd be curious to know why they had bad experiences with Thunderbird in 
Windows. I wonder if it's a Thunderbird issue or if it goes back to the 
fact that it isn't very Outlook Express like.

I don't have another suggestion. They could try Evolution, but I'm not 
sure what the state of Evolution accessibility is right now, and that 
will be even less like Outlook Express then Thunderbird. They could try 
Sea Monkey, but that interface will look a lot like Thunderbird's. Other 
than that, I'm only aware of command line options like Alpine and Mutt.

Finally, although Thunderbird's interface is pretty consistent across 
platforms, I do like it much more in Linux with Orca than I do on 
Windows with either JAWS or NVDA. You might want to go ahead and see if 
they want to give Thunderbird another chance.
