I had trouble with Gmail on my Windows Live Mail, there were always problems 
with downloading the message and the settings.  The thing with Yahoo is that 
it was fine the way it was up till last month and now it is really a mess.

Friend, Gmail is none the better. Their HTML view is our only hope. Despite 
switching to this view, you can't do all the stuff the sighted folks can. 
Like for example, you want to select a bunch of emails from your inbox and 
delete them, you can't. All you can do is check the boxes for each mail and 
get lost on what to do with them.

I understand all these email services are putting their best foot forward 
towards accessibility, but what I fail to understand is that we are in 2013 
and I think it should have already happened. I get really tired educating 
companies like linkedin, Google, Yahoo, Facebook etc. on basic accessibility 
design of their websites. I mean they should get it faster right?
