Unfortunately it won't log me into my email account down there in

I had the same problem with an account on virgilio.it. I tried to open it through an old version of Firefox (I mean, FF15 or some) but nothing: it was always redirecting me to the home page. At the same time, I could use Opera and all ran well.
My laptop being a Acer 1400 empowered (?) with 1 G ram, openSuSE,  I was afraid of installing a newer version of Firefox but finally I did and virgilio,it started to open regularly.

In another older desktop pc Pentium II with zenwalk (slackware) I tried to install IceCat. I might have tuned it rather better, but I think You're able to manage with it. Try this, I'm afraid you need to download the source-code and configure by hand...

good luck! let's know.
