Package: geary
Version: 43.0-1+b1
Severity: important
X-Debbugs-Cc: jordanlivesey9 at gmail.com

Dear Maintainer,
it is impossible for visually impaired users to use this package with orca as it doesn't read emails when you use the arrow keys
*** Reporter, please consider answering these questions, where appropriate ***

   * What led up to the situation?
   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?
   * What was the outcome of this action?
   * What outcome did you expect instead?
I tried to read emails by scrolling with the down arrow keys, when tutorial and child posission messeges are turned on in orca, orca correctly states the number and how many items there are, for instance, 3 of 19 when you scroll to email number 3 in a list of 19 emails
