Has Anybody Heard of Mail.com ?

Hi everybody. Subject is pretty accurate. I discovered this on one of the email lists to which I subscribe. Not much was said about it, so I went and checked out their website. Turns out that while the main site is a bit cluttered and perhaps lacking somewhat in terms of accessibility with VO, they do have a page where screen reader users can sign up. There is also an iOS app, and one for Android. I have not yet signed up, but am considering that and wanted to get more opinions first. There is a CAPTCHA checkbox, and past experience has taught me that not all of these work with VoiceOver. Thoughts anyone? Apple's native mail app for iPhone and Mac has worked well for me. I can even get around the weirdness of Mail on the Mac these days.

I have used the mail.com app and while it is a neat little app which is laid out very nicely and not cluttered, it isn’t perfectly accessible. Along the bottom the buttons are on labelled. When you are typing in your address, subject or text of your email, Voice Over will not read back what you are typing.

I used a mail.com email address as my main address for a few years. I foundit confused people when I tried to share it, they would assume it was a typo and send to Gmail very frequently.
