I don't use the GMail web interface for reading mail.  I've played a little with the web interface and at this point, I don't know why you can't move in focus mode.  There may be a command you need to use to move to the e-mail list first.  Others will likely discuss the question.

hi gene.

i went to focus mode in my firefox and cant use keyboard at all to for

example navigate in the list of my emails. how is it possible to use

email and go to previous or next items in focus mode?

But most people use IMAP, not POP these days.  If you use a different

computer, all the mail you have saved on the server or that is in the

inbox will automatically download to the e-mail program on the computer

you are using.

As for efficient, while I haven't used on line interfaces much and I

might alter my opinion if I did, I haven't found any interface that is

as efficient as an e-mail program where I just move down a list of

messages and press enter on one I want to read.

In GMail, for example, If I want to read an e-mail without hearing a lot

of verbiage I don't care about, I have to keep switching between having

browse mode off and browse mode on.  If I use the browse mode off method

GMail provides to move from one message to another and have it read

while leaving browse mode off, there is a lot of excessive verbiage that

is announced at the beginning of every message.

You can download emails onto your gmail.

like example, if you have an hotmail or yahoo email, you can set it up

whereby it will download like pop email onto a label aka folder. more

efficient  as compared to an email client.

I can  move to different computer and see the same email. I delete

one, it will be gone from the rest. since  gmail itself allows you to

download mails, you can also delete it or leave it on your mail server.

 your email client can only work if you have a working computer. if

your computer dies or laptop gone, then where is all your emails?

It might be subjective if email client is faster for some but I can

move around in gmail faster than on outlook.

    e-mail with every provider.  I was informed by a knowledgeable

    person, however, that GMail allows you to use GMail for different

    providers.  I don't know how this is done nor what providers you

    can use with the GMail interface.

    I don't think any online interface for e-mail is as efficient as

    an e-mail program for blind users but if people want to use online

    interfaces, knowing that GMail offers consolidation may be

    important for some users with different providers.
