hello, and what is your question now?
with nvda it is very easy to navigate gmail with firefox.
but why don't you use thunderbird?
it's completely free!
while there is no internet, you can read the mails offline.
and when there is internet you can download all mails in a split second.
i think that's in this case the best solution you can get.
cheers

if you want you can correspond in dutch because i read your name i think you're dutch.
but in that case in a pm only because this is a english list.

Hi Group

I recently started using Gmail inbox with NVDA and Mozilla FireFox.  It works very well, but for the purposes of my Internet classes, I teach the students the old way, because Inbox doesn't work that well with Internet Explorer, and very few of them will have access to Internet when they leave the college and even fewer will be able to download FireFox on their computers without help.  These students are total beginners and Internet access is limited in South Africa.

If the shortcuts worked in Internet Explorer as well, I would teach them this way, because it is a lot quicker and simpler than going through basic HTML view.

Regards
Heaven

I only use Inbox on web (NVDA/VoiceOver/ChromeVox), iOS VoiceOver, and Android TalkBack

Thanks for sharing this application with us. 
In terms of features and reliability, is it better than mozilla thunderbird?
Cheers.
