Hello everyone,
Apology for the cross posting but I presume that not many people are using 
Google Mail at present. So I'm hoping that someone out there has an experience 
with Gmail and can kindly offer some help.

I signed up for a Gmail account few days ago and since then I'm trying to get 
the hang of it but I can't quite understand how it works. I'm not sure if it's 
an accessibility issue or it's just me being daft. The site loads ok, Jaws 
doesn't crash and it looks like Jaws is reading all the links on the page 
alright. However, I'm still not sure how to actually read my messages, I can 
read the messages' headers fine but I can't find any link or a button to take 
me to the message's body to read it. As well, I couldn't work out how to get to 
the Trash, Google's help centre says that I can access it from the Main Menu 
which I can't for the life of me find it anywhere on the Gmail webpage. 
Attachments is another problem, one of the messages in my inbox has got one and 
I'm still trying to open it with no luck at all.

There's something I feel is strange about this Gmail, there's a lot of text on 
the webpage which you
 assume it has to be a link or a button but it's neither, it's just text. 
Something like a column of the following, (Create a filter, Compose Mail, 
Starred, Sent Mail, Drafts, All Mail etc), and bear in mind that there are no 
links on the page to correspond to what I've listed. e.g. there are no links to 
take you to the Drafts folder or to Compose a letter.



So people, anyone can shed some light on this matter?



All thoughts are gratefully received,
