<sigh> I say this in the nicest possible way but you are quite a hard person to help. :-)

I do understand that you'd like a list of email companies but a list of webmail software might very well help you find an email company because, due to your very specific needs, you need to find a company that actually does host webmail software that works as you need it to. And only you are in a position to figure out what webmail software works as you need it.

While I respect that for some gmail is both a company providing email services , and one with  its own web interface,  my goal is the former not the latter .

I understand that you want webmail that just works (within your requirements), just as it used to with Gmail. As I describe above, I have provided information that really should help you find software (and then a company) that will do what you need.

I am not qualified to quiz companies on the interfaces they offer  or ask that they change  their webmail software for me.

Well, you're better qualified than anyone else since only you know exactly what your exact needs are and what the exact capabilities of your web browser software are! You don't need to ask anyone to change their webmail software. But finding out what webmail software works for you (via, for example, demo accounts) and then asking email service providers if they host that software should surely be feasible. If you work with research assistants (as I understand you do from earlier comments) then they could even help with this, perhaps?

So, no I am not interested in software, only and specifically email companies.  Protonmail  would be fine, but the _javascript_ they use does not work.

But, as you have experienced, company suggestions alone aren't necessarily helpful. You also need to know if their software offerings do what you need. One way or another, you have to get this information from somewhere. Hence my linking to a list of webmail software giving you a chance to do some research (alone or perhaps with assistants) to help yourself in the search for a company.
