I think we Windows screen reader power-users tend to notice anything that doesn't behave exactly like either the classic Win32 controls or the major web browser engines. This is an obstacle that will face any would-be challenger to wxWidgets in the cottage industry of desktop apps developed by and for blind people.

Outlook Express was a damn good Windows email client (in terms of UI; we can critique the HTML emails with non-standard quoting that it generated). It used the IE engine to display and edit message bodies, and the rest of the UI, including the main mailbox view, was all standard Win32 controls; said mailbox view was good old SysListView32. I maintain that Outlook Express was a better email client than full Outlook, if all you needed was an email client.
