Folks, have you tried the new Thunderbird 115 Beta 3 and found any access issues? Since this will become the official release in a few weeks, I decided to try it - with NVDA - and found that some controls make it more difficult to move from the folder tree to the message list, or message tree, via Tab/SHIFT+Tab. So any hints re how to hide/remove these controls would be welcome.

I would really quite like to know the answer to that as well. It isn't as easy as it could be to move from the tree view to the list. Also, if anyone knows how to change the order of the fields in the list of email messages. Currently, in the list of messages, it is reading the subject first, then the author, whereas it would be nice to have it the other way about.

@brianhartgen I bought Postbox email client to get away from dealing with this. Much easier, even if it's shareware.

@brianhartgen It's good. The outlook express of this generation to me. I'm not so sure for paying for an email client, but I support one time purchases so I'll live.

@serrebi I'm going to check it out. People are often asking me about an alternative to Outlook. If I can recommend something to them it would be a very good thing.

@brianhartgen Overall it's delightfull to use. Very polished. You'll probably enjoy it compared to everything else third party which is why I bought it. The dev is friendly with people restartting the trial but I didn't want to deal with that.

@brianhartgen @serrebi I'd also like to know how accessible it is or how it handles, say, threads.

@brianhartgen It has some anoying issues in composing mail, and certain addressing edit fields but I put up with them because I haven't seen an email client with this little latency in it in such a long time. I've hated dealing with email on windows for years, it's nice to not feel that way anymore.

@serrebi @brianhartgen I'll also check this one out. I do most email on my Mac these days simply because the popular Windows clients have gotten so bloated, unresponsive, and unstable.
