> gmail supports POP3 and IMAP access, My experience is that gmail supports POP and IMAP only if you are using one of a few blessed clients, all of which are huge crawling GUI horrors. Sometimes not even then; for example, back when I was fussing with mail for work, gmail refused to talk to the Thunderbird that was installed on my work laptop, claiming its encryption was insufficient in some (unspecified, as far as I can recall) respect. So I was forced onto the HTML interface. I've been using lynx with the basic HTML view and it's been working for me, but perhaps I'm just being grandfathered; I haven't meddled with the settings in quite a while now.
I really wish that job would move their mail to somewhere civilized. > and it appears there are old versions of Pegasus Mail available, that > run on MS-DOS and support these with no Windows environment present. If one of them works, great, but don't be too surprised if gmail isn't interested in talking to clients that old. (If it does work, please mention it here; I'd like to try again if it appears they've relaxed the stringency of their stance.) /~\ The ASCII Mouse \ / Ribbon Campaign X Against HTML [email protected] / \ Email! 7D C8 61 52 5D E7 2D 39 4E F1 31 3E E8 B3 27 4B _______________________________________________ Lynx-dev mailing list [email protected] https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lynx-dev
