I'm sure the forum/bulletin board sections you mention are what we used for our class discussions when I took the online class with Black Board. I was able to access them with JAWS. I don't remember having any problems accessing the e-mail system either. Yes, navigation can be a bother, but just takes a bit of getting used to.

JAWS is unable to access certain parts of Blackboard, mainly the chat and
forum/bulletin board sections and in some cases the onboard email.
Blackboard is almost exclusively built in a frame set, which can make
navigation difficult (but not impossible) in other areas.

In other words, Blackboard doesn't play well with others.
