On one hand this is not a big deal, on the other one this is a fallback option on a slow connection and no access to IMAP apps. Someone’s day will be ruined.

- greggsy 3y agoThe vintage computing scene mainly.
- failuser 3y agoAn interesting point. I wonder what is the best self-hosted alternative is. There is a need for vintage web for vintage machines, and that includes email services.
- greggsy 3y agoThe hobby vintage computing scene very rarely plays a part in important recovery or support situations. I would hazard a guess that the number of real and important situations where a critical and irreplaceable legacy system requires access to *Gmail* is close to zero. These systems are unlikely to have access to the internet, and if you’re connecting an *unsupported browser* to a legacy webmail solution, you’re doing things very, very wrong.
- palata 3y ago> I wonder what is the best self-hosted alternative is. What are you thinking of self-hosting? The email server? There are plenty of alternatives to GMail. An email webclient? Just use a non-web client, there are plenty of those too :-).
- Nodebuck 3y ago> I wonder what is the best self-hosted alternative is. For a webmail client probably https://squirrelmail.org https://squirrelmail.org. It's over 2 decades old, still maintained, and kept to its original simplicity.
- vdfs 3y ago> fallback option on a slow connection And on mobile if you want to edit settings like filters, impossible to do without the html version
- Hnrobert42 3y agoThis is why I used it. Ultimately, I ported my domain to Fastmail, where it’s possible to edit filters in the mobile app. Fastmail also makes it really easy to choose the username from which to reply. You don’t have to create a dumbass alias address.
