Lynx-friendly webmail?

[Hostile Dialect]

Gmail used to work fine for me in Lynx, but for some reason, it doesn't anymore. I know I could just set mutt up to grab new mail from my Gmail account(s), but I'm curious: Are there any webmail services out there that are made for text-only browsers, or at least known for their Lynx-friendliness?

I would think someone out there would fill this niche, no?

Not among the majors, at any rate. Anyone techy enough to use lynx is techy enough to use mutt or Gnus (my choice, BTW) or something else that only relies on a POP or SMTP server, without having to make their webmail pages degrade from full Ajax to text mode without losing any essential functionality.

My understanding is that a pure text-based interface is the basis for the interface that screen readers and such use, so if GMail or Yahoo Mail or whatever aren't usable through a Lynx-like browser, they don't conform to accessibility rules. Now, that may mean that the screen readers need to be able to do things like handle Java or Javascript, and I don't know whether Lynx does.
