They should be enabled by default if I recall correctly. These are implemented by the use of HTML accesskey attributes on various elements. In Firefox, for instance, the key must be pressed with the Shift and Alt modifier keys. > When I take a look on the configuration site, I can see some combo boxes - > but in the combo boxes, I only can see some letters, e.g. "a", "d" etc. To the left of each drop-down box containing those letters should be descriptions for what the letter will be a shortcut to. Those descriptions do have label tags on them that point to each drop-down, so it would be my hope that a screen reader would pick up on that and present them accordingly. > I am blind, and using Squirrel mail with a screen reader, so therefore I > will be glad if you please can answer the question. I'd be pleased to help make any changes you feel may help make it more usable for you. I was unhappy with the keyboard modifier keys that were needed for using accesskey and for version 1.4.23 I developed a plugin (not released yet) that foregoes accesskey in favor of shortcuts implemented in JavaScript. I presume that's not as desirable for a screen reader, but maybe a modern screen reader doesn't care, perhaps if assisted by better labeling? > 2.
