Catherine, I also use Gmail, but with ZoomText. I've found it a lot more accessible than other email providers, e.g. hotmail, but it does still have its problems. The other thing to add is that in theory you can check your Gmail from a mobile phone using gmail mobile, but that doesn't work with the Talks mobile screenreader - or not that I've found.
