I have used Yahoo mail, reading through a browser, which seems much less
graphics intensive than GMail. The issue is that Yahoo spam control is
nowhere near as good. And Yahoo was hacked a few years back. So while the
web interface is less graphics intensive, the email functionality is
inferior to GMail. I don't know if GMail still has a low graphics link.
