Re: [vcf-midatlantic] Email services for vintage computers

One option is to use a Unix shell account via Telnet. Alpine took the place of pine but should still work. It’s how I used to read my email using a c64 with a dialup modem about 30 years ago.

That was how I connected to my first personal email account, on Grex. SDF should still be offering comparable services (Grex is no more). On an old computer, one did not typically use webmail, but POP3/SMTP with an email client. Netscape should come with one. There probably aren't too many legit email providers that would allow unencrypted POP3/SMTP access nowadays, but you could run your own, or a relay. Thanks, Jonathan
