Hi Katherine, there is a well documented bug in JAWS 7.0 that causes combo 
boxes not to be read properly on some web pages, to which Gmail may be one 
of them. Try upgrading to JAWS 7.1, or, if possible, JAWS 8, and the problem 
should go away. Hope that helps.

Subject: [access-uk] GMail help please


Hi,

Is anyone using GMail on the web, and have you applied labels to messages?
If so, could you explain how you did it?

According to the help I have to check the box next to the messages I want to
label, and then choose create new label from the more actions combobox.  But
I can't find anything about creating a new label in the combobox or anywhere
else on the page.  I'm using JAWS 7.0 - don't know if that's something to do
with it.

The reason I want to do this, and the reason I'm trying to use GMail in the
first place is because a) their pop service is free; and b) I like their web
interface, and I want to be able to read e-mail away from home.  Pop clients
on PDAs don't allow us to use filters so I'm thinking I'll use the GMail web
interface to read e-mail on the move.  But to make the e-mail quicker/easier
to view/manage (I probably won't read list e-mail, for example) I want to
apply labels.  If anyone else has this situation and has any suggestions
please let me know.

Catherine
