I thought I had read some while back that there could be a way to tell gmail to use standard IMAP behavior instead of their approach. I think it was in Google Labs or some such. Anyone know about this or given it a try? Maybe if that were set, Mail might work better with gmail hosted accounts.
Humm, wonder if there are any other email clients one could try for the Mac? I read somewhere that Thundrbird might be an alternative but I bet the a11y in it is probably no better than with Firefox right now.
