just adding to the list of people for whom a pop plugin would be desirable.
I'm not among them. We only permit use of POP3 here for people who have to
use clients that don't support IMAP. We have two such people: one is blind,
and has an braille computer that doesn't have an IMAP client.
That sounds like a good reason to develop an IMAP mail client that is
accessibile. If the mail client isn't accessible, then having POP
support within it wouldn't help him anyway.
I doubt Letters would run on the Braille computer, either.
Sure it could. That's just a regular computer with a Braille I/O device
attached. Using the OS accessibility APIs should be sufficient for
supporting this. From a programming POV, supporting Braille output is,
I believe, no different from supporting screen readers. Just expose the
text to be output via the accessibility APIs and let the screen
reader/braille output or whatever render it.
