	How to Escape Gmail
	5 points by johnaspden 824 days ago
	Gmail have turned off the basic HTML view. The new interface is unpleasant. Assuming I can't get html view back, can I still use a mail client through POP3, or is the best thing to do to move to another email service, and if so which one?

You definitely can use POP3 and IMAP with gmail:

I've heard good things about fastmail:

It's not the UI that bothers me (it's actually quite nice and modern) it's that it loads like treacle, when in the past I exclusively used the basic HTML interface as it was more snappier & performant.

I love Tuta!
