GMail has a HTML-only version that is much more lightweight and usable on slow / flaky connections.
It's worth it to memorize or bookmark the address, in case you ever need it:
http://mail.google.com/mail/h/ http://mail.google.com/mail/h/
(on mobile browsers you need to "request desktop version" and then paste the address again, before you can see it)
- j_s 10y agoThank you for sharing this link. Here is a related HN discussion: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7513388 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7513388 My problem with accessing the low-bandwidth Google tools with archaic browsers (http://dplus-browser.sourceforge.net/ http://dplus-browser.sourceforge.net/, etc.) is that Google still requires the high-bandwith login. Are you aware of any alternative login URLs or authentication mechanisms?
