[GTALUG] alternatives to gmail working well in Ubintu?

[Karen Lewellen]

Hi folks,
I was going to just ask for alternatives to consider, but want to keep the 
Linux element here as I mainly use a Ubuntu shell.
Now that google is making it  profoundly difficult reaching basic html in 
low graphics environments, I may need a new home.  I prefer reading on the 
web for this account, especially as I use it largely for research needing 
to follow article links and work with file attachments.
Any solid ideas?
Thanks,
Karen
