Well, IMHO, the best way is to use an accessible IMAP client, such as 
Thunderbird, the Mail app on IOS, Type Mail on Android and so on. The 
Gmail web interface is also usable, but I don't find it as efficient as 
using an accessible app or desktop client. If you could let us know how 
you want to access your mail, like what device and what operating 
system/screen reader, you're using, we could give more specific information.

If you want to manage your account, settings, access to other Google 
services, then you'll need to do that on line with a browser and a 
screen reader. I use Orca with Firefox under Linux, and I don't have 
much trouble with it, and I would assume other browser and screen reader 
combinations work just as well if not better. Again, more information on 
what you're trying to do would help us provide more specific information.
