new webmail service

I'm not very happy with the new webmail service. I used to use it (in
conjunction with the mindbogglingly useful Getmail) to filter out all the
spam I receive. It worked very well, and -�as you'd have to be extremely
sad to be interested in my private e-mail, I used the insecure service. It
was in fact my "homepage" and I would usually leave my browser on the page
day in, day out, so when I was next on-line, a quick click on "refresh"
would be all that was necessary to see what had arrived in the mailbox.

I gather the new service is "secure" only, so I have to mess about logging
in and logging out (which so far has not been without its little problems)
to access my mailbox, in a manner that is slower anyway, because of the
security.

On top of that, and this is probably down to my aging browser, the pages
are far less readable than they used to be, making the whole process a
complete pain in the neck.


Does any of this strike a chord with anyone else?

Am I missing something obvious about the webmail service?


                  All the best,
                        Angus Manwaring.       (for e-mail remove ANTISPEM)

The unsecured service is still there in the same old place.
