#Fedi, looking for people with experience in #accessible software.

I have a friend with serious vision issues. Not blind, but can't easily read text that isn't 6+ inches high, and his vision is degrading. He is looking for a way to deal with email -- he's a writer -- because he says Gmail is now a nightmare to use even with a screen reader.

Preferred solution would be a mail program / #MUA that runs on Windows and supports #OAUTH authentication, so he can continue to use his Gmail address.

What's the MUA with the best #accessibility on Windows? Thunderbird brags about its support for screen readers and assistive technologies, so I had him try it, and he says it's almost as bad as Gmail - flashing colours, animating controls. I haven't personally touched Thunderbird in many years, so it was a surprise to me.

I use a text/console mail flow that relies on a local MTA, so nothing I use is of any use in this.

Thanks, appreciate any pointers.

Edit 2: looks like a translation issue of all the things… mastodon.social/@dzwiedziu/113

Dear #AskFedi,

a mail client for #Linux that can display mails from multiple accounts in one view (unified inbox)?

For now I only know that it can be haxxxed in Evolution, but would like avoid workarounds, as they tend to backfire in my face (today made KMail crash dbus and my session).

Edit: unfortunately I'm using Gmail, so if I have to access Google's developer console, then I'll pass.

MastodonDźwiedziu (@dzwiedziu@mastodon.social)@viq@hackerspace.pl Goddamit, it's looks as a translation problem… Seems that in the Polish langpack “unified” is translated as “grouped”. @lecroix74@fosstodon.org
