I came across a "Web 1.0 hosting" provider who is also offering webmail (the login page looks like SquirrelMail?): https://web1.0hosting.net/ https://mail.w10.host/src/login.php
Who knows for how long this provider manages to survive, but it is a great initiative. (Edit: Whoa, according to the website, this business has been running since 1992. And, it is apparently run from Finland, whose people have an extra quirk for doing "fringe stuff" with ridiculous commitment. :) (Not sure if it is considered "nice" to dig up old threads like this here, but, having found a lot of good references via mailing list archives myself, I thought I'd share this one as well.)
