If by DOS you mean 1980's 1990's MS-DOS or PC-DOS, I haven't a clue. 1985-1996 I was a DOS expert, but haven't used it this century and have forgotten it all. Karen, I thought you were using Linux. If you had been using Linux, then what I described, once set up, would have probably been completely accessible using a screen reader.

If I remember correctly, DOS can't handle hard disks more than 2 gig. >Minus he pay someone whose body works >differently suggestion of course. True enough, but how much are you going to pay, year after year, for somebody whose body works differently to keep up with gmail's summary and arbitrary and frankly useless changes? Karen, I know very little about you or your situation, other than you recently became blind. I don't know if you have any other physical disadvantages, or how technical you are, or what you use email and the computer for, or what operating system(s) you use or have used before. I have even less information about the person whom the original poster (OP) inquired for. My one and only contribution, or perhaps discontribution, to this discussion is that Gmail is frustrating and difficult to work with, and for a normally sighted (I'm about 20/40 with glasses) Linux user there are immensely better alternatives that may or may not be adaptable to people who are blind.
