So are you TELNETing your email then?
I think you can do it this way, but don't ask me the details.

Most of it, including this list. I have a shell account at my ISP
that works reasonably well. Sometimes I can run lynx on the shell
account, but it often won't work with eBay listings.
But I need to use Outlook on XP for almost all of the college mail, since
we have a lot of truly brain-dead administrators who send nothing but
multi megabyte MS Weird .DOC files and PDF files, as attachments to
messages that don't say ANYTHING other than "Look at the attachment".
Usually the attachment will be a heavily formatted document with clip-art
(sometimes ANIMATED!) in order to say something on the order of: "The
curiclum (SIC!) committee meeting has been postponed until Tuesday."
Oh well.
In half an hour, my students will be here, and I'll explain to them how
the PC BIOS handles keyboard input.
