Those were my posts, and I was in the middle of composing a reply to your 
original query which I'll paste in here.  The answer is that up until the 
transition to MobileMe for the iPhone launch last year, the dot Mac service was 
very accessible with the exception of using the iWeb design tools to create web 
sites.  Most users who started with that service when it was dot Mac and used 
the web mail service and internet sharing, etc. can probably still navigate 
those parts of the site because the structure is familiar -- it's accessible, 
but non-standard.  I have to admit that shifting the Command- prefix over to 
Control- was a bit of a surprise, but I think that was their way of 
accommodating people who accessed the browser from Windows and other keyboards 
where there is no Command key. I'll go on to answer your questions.  Read the 
posts for discussion about how to navigate the web interface.  The exact 
sequences are different depending on whether you use DOM mode or group mode 
navigation.

Access mail preferences with Contol-Comma.  In general, the shortcuts that work 
with mail on your computer also work from the Web version of MobileMe if you 
replace "Command" with "Control".

See my reply in the archives to Simon's question about setting up aliases in 
MobileMe.  There's some initial discussion about the way that the web version 
of MobileMe works:

(Working with MobileMe web mail and setting up aliases [was Re: Setting aliases 
in mobileme])

Also in the archives, how to cancel MobileMe:

http://www.mail-archive.com/macvisionaries%40googlegroups.com/msg02244.html
(Instructions on how to Cancel Mobile Me [was Re: canceling Mobile Me account])

Both these posts give some background about navigating.

And there's a MobileMe live chat support number on their web page for problems. 
 This is for problems related to service -- not accessibility, since their Tech 
Support won't know how to handle that.
