Hi Karen, I haven't done this in a while from a desktop, but the access from Thunderbird etc to Gmail is not done through screen readers but rather the venerable IMAP protocol which is supported. https://support.google.com/mail/answer/7126229?hl=en This is most commonly used by mobile, where there are a number of email interfaces that people may prefer to Gmail's front end. Even Outlook for Android supports this.
