Thunderbird will become a web based application - What about accessibility?
|
No, outlook is not web based. I’m using it now, and it is a regular GUI , not a web-based GUI .
Happy Monday.

Well, if that’s the case. I’ll either stick to the windows mail app or just use Google’s site to check mail. I think Outlook is web based. I used outlook 2010.

Guess I'll be looking for another email program soon. Too bad as Thunderbird has worked great with nvda for many years. Roger

TBird will allow gmail. All you need to do is to put in your stuff it asks for and it will configure the rest. Talk about that on the chat group or on the thunderbird group someone started. Look for it at groups.io or on this list via its archives.

Hi, I tried to install thunderbird on this computer. But it would not allow gmail on it. So I am using the windows ten mail app.

The confusion may be that Microsoft offers versions of the suite that are in the cloud and versions that are on the user's machine. Something may be in the cloud and the interface may be as though it were on the user's machine.

I wonder what that means regarding to accessibility in Thunderbird in general and what other free graphical mailer will be available for Windows if Thunderbird might become inaccessible or at least very inefficient regarding to useability when it is a full webbased program. Is anyone in touch with the Thunderbird developers and can find out more about their plans and how much they will have accessibility in mind? I fear they do not care much about accessibility, so the next question is what can we do to bring this isue more into the public? It would be really sad to loose the only really free and good to use graphical mailer for Windows. AFAIK there are not much alternatives left then, which is a real shame for such a central and important form of communication for blind people, especialy in this very challenging times :-(. Cheers, Schoepp . |
