To be clear, I'm not saying you can't do it. I am only saying that using webmail in this way via a shell account is likely to become more difficult over time. As I also said, however, it is still likely to be possible with the right webmail software.

So, I know that I can, if I actually get an email provider suggestion find ways to continue.

I asked for what I specifically needed, not for, no matter how well intended, what someone else thinks my goal is in this situation.

The link I provided to a list of alternative webmail software almost certainly does lead you to exactly what I understand you are looking for: Webmail that will work without relying on _javascript_.

As I said, I haven't personally tested any of the webmail software mentioned in the list but Reco confirmed that SquirrelMail works fine without needing _javascript_ and so it should work ok from a text-mode web browser via your shell account.

All you need to do is find an ISP or other service provider that can host SquirrelMail for you. As I say, if I understand your requirement correctly then this should fulfil it.

In addition: Does anyone know if either Horde Imp or Roundcube work well without _javascript_? I'd have thought that, in practice, both of these are more likely (than SquirrelMail) to be standard offerings from ISPs nowadays.
