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.

Subject: Re: [nvda] Accessibility in Inbox by Gmail - Inbox by Gmail Help

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 don't use Thunderbird.
I only use Inbox on web (NVDA/VoiceOver/ChromeVox), iOS VoiceOver, and Android TalkBack

Hello, 

Thanks for sharing this application with us. 

In terms of features and reliability, is it better than mozilla thunderbird?

Cheers.

Computer accessibility

Inbox is compatible with the following screen readers:

Operating system	Screen reader	Browser
Chrome OS	ChromeVox	Chrome
Microsoft Windows	NVDA	Firefox
Mac OS X Yosemite	VoiceOver	Safari

When you open Inbox for the first time, Inbox provides introductory information about how to use the application. You can navigate through these introductory screens with the left and right arrow keys.

Compose and reply

To reply to an email, start typing in the Reply box below the email. To get to more options, like changing the recipients, editing quoted text, or replying inline, just expand the compose window by selecting Pop out reply .

Keyboard shortcuts

For the best experience, turn on keyboard shortcuts in Inbox. The following table contains some useful shortcuts. To find a complete list while you're using Inbox, hold Shift and press ? on your keyboard. Learn how to turn on keyboard shortcuts.

Shortcut	Action
?	Open keyboard shortcuts help
c	Compose
t	Create a reminder
/	Search
Home	Navigate to first item in main list
j or right arrow	Navigate to next item in main list
k or left arrow	Navigate to previous item in main list
n	Navigate to next message in an open thread
p	Navigate to previous message in an open thread
o or Enter	Open focused item
Esc	Close
Shift + Esc	Focus main window
Shift + m	Focus main menu
Shift + b	Focus notifications
x	Select or deselect an item in the main list
Shift + x	Select multiple items

Tip: To improve keyboard navigation, you can make notifications stay on screen for 30 seconds. Then you can press Shift + b to navigate to the notification and take an action. To make notifications stay on the screen longer:

1. Open Inbox.
2. In the top left, go to the main menu .
3. Choose  Settings at the bottom.
4. Choose Other.
5. Check the box next to "Make notifications stay on the screen longer."
