Karen:
My experience is that:
1)- If you log out of a session of gmail using the GMAIL STANDARD net
view version using Firefox or Chrome, you will NOT BE able to open it
again with a text browser without Java-scripts.
2)- if you log out a session of gmail using the "GMAIL HTML FOR SLOW
CONNECTIONS" version option at the botton of the page, using Firefox or
Chrome, you will BE able to open it again ad infinitum with a text
browser WITHOUT Java-scripts. You will be asked TWICE for the password.
3)- If you don't have a graphic browser, you'll have to give your email
password to
someone you trust to configure GMAIL in graphic mode, the only way it
can be done.

To be sure, perhaps only newer accounts are generating the problem.
Fully realizing that alpine quality strongly flows from talent, we
have it via dreamhost for my office e-mail. It times out while
reading items several times a day and crashes regularly...likely tied
to the dreamhost shell configuration more than anything else.

I'm reading this message via that approach.
I have had an email account for some years and it still allows lynx
access. I think at some fairly recent point existing accounts were
grandfathered in and new accounts refused using lynx.

I have no idea, as I have not needed to look.
How does mutt manage the need for a browser, to follow e-mail links for
example?

used to read and reply to gmail once set up correctly and there's lots
of support for setting it up with gmail on the internet.

Subject: Re: [Lynx-dev] reaching gmail in basic html?
The Thunderbird story is interesting because prior to now I could
use elinks
and links, which both can incorporate JavaScript to reach my
research gmail
account.
They no longer allow it though because google claims it is not the
right kind
of JavaScript.
Generally speaking I too would love learning how this is done.
Presently
although I use DOS, the only internet access I have comes from
using a dos
ssh telnet client to a shell service. Nothing from my desktop.
so please share more details all the way around.

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.)
