People on the Orca list are actually reporting some good successes with
Thunderbird accessibility -- typically better than Evo.
However, Evo is still a preferred client because it gives us a good "all
in one" solution for calendaring, contact management, and e-mail.

the email client choice will certainly find some fodder within.

Usually it's an online poll - where anyone is welcome to submit.
Interesting to see Evolution at so low a %, though probably not
surprising given the active work occurring in Thunderbird right now. I
think the hard part is trying to figure out what consequences removing
the GUI part of Evolution would make ie. which bits rely on e-d-s and
what impact would that be to the user interface.
Sun also has somewhat of an obligation to provide an accessible desktop
by default, which isn't really a consideration in such polls... I'm not
sure how Thunderbird currently stacks up against Evolution on the a11y
front, but it certainly used to lag somewhat.
Cheeri,
