Ask HN: Know of any good web-based email alternatives [to gmail]?
New gmail hurts my eyes [I know that you may use the old version, but my conception is that they will force everyone to the new one eventually], and google+ circles are creeping their way into my inbox.
Gmail is still the best web-based email I know of. Does anyone know of better or alternative options?
Factors that are particularly important to me are a clean/functional interface and not having a nasty privacy policy.

- mhd 15y agoGmail seems to be the only (advanced) email web client out there that comes closer to mutt/pine than Outlook. Every other Javascripty mail web app really tries to look like it's a traditional desktop application, including heavy mouse use. Having said that, the international United Internet versions do look quite ok for that segment. mail.com / gmx.com
