Thanks all, for getting me started, afterwards someone sent me the message
below and had a quick read and it looks like the guide is going to answer a lot
of questions for me and thought i pass it on for those also having difficulty
with jaws and google mail, will let you know how I get along with it.
thanks again
A guide for Jaws users, written by David Bailes
available on the Jaws Guides page of the VIP Software Guides website.
Google Mail is available in two different views: Standard, and Basic HTML. The
Basic HTML view is primarily aimed at old web browsers which can't properly
display the Standard view, and it contains less functionality than the Standard
view. However, Google have modified the US English version of the Basic HTML
view so that it's more accessible for those using screen readers. Note that
this isn't the case for other language versions of the Basic HTML view, so you
must have your language set to US English to get the accessible Basic HTML
view. If you already have a Google Mail account, then you can change the
language on the General Settings page, as described in the Settings section.
For versions of Jaws up to and including version 8, Google Mail is much more
accessible in the US English Basic HTML view than in the Standard view, and
this guide is written for the US English Basic HTML view. Looking ahead, Jaws
version 9, which is due out in December 2007, will include some support for the
Standard view. Depending on the level of support, the Standard view may become
preferable for Jaws 9 users.
