Re: alternatives to gmail?



I should add that (although I did not suggest that Karen should host her own email) I did mention the possibility of Karen having a webmail client of her own choice running in a web hosting account. This is not necessarily the shocking thing that it might sound and it is not the same as Karen running her own server (which, I re-iterate, I have not suggested).

Popular web hosting control panel software such as cPanel (used by many web hosting providers) integrates webmail clients and allows it to be very easily set up. Unfortunately cPanel dropped support for SquirrelMail some time ago but they do still support both Roundcube and Horde Imp. I can well appreciate that Karen might need assistance in initially setting this up but it is definitely a potentially suitable solution for Karen's requirements.

It would be easier if she could find some kind of service provider already running a webmail client that works for her but the above is also a wholly viable solution for her needs as stated below.

Hi folks,
One of my gmail accounts is no longer accessible, not in links even
with some _javascript_.  Not in elinks with the same, and most of all,
not via basic html in lynx.
I use this account for research, meaning I prefer  a low graphics web
interface. I am using a screen reader which also for me personally
makes the low graphics  even more important.
I am not in a position to host my own email.
Whatever I choose, I hope to manage forwarding of the presently 
existing gmail address.  Moving content a plus.
Anyone have a suggestion for an email service?
Thanks,
Karen

For the avoidance of doubt, since my comments appear to have been misunderstood, I was aware of this earlier thread and all of my comments here have been made in the context of this request.

Nothing I have suggested requires Karen to host her own email. I was suggesting what she would need to look for in terms of webmail software that would be posted by other ISPs/service providers/etc.
